WPP is the ad agency behind May Cat, a bow dressed in a feline-wearing a feline adviser to douse food in Mayonnaise. Unfortunately, there is no similar trick for living the company’s own prospects. After the chief executive Mark Reads MondayWPP should lose at any time to hang a “for word” outside the door.
WPP shuts off half of its market value over the past seven years. The efforts to read the streamline of the company’s structure and involvement of its functions may protect profit. But at least, or investing in the WPP of artificial intelligence to create ads, deliver a lot of growth. This year, the marketing is expected to be flat in negative; France public targets 4-5 percent growth.
For BCE believers, a turnar will continue business in the present form possible. For example, it may be true, that clients value an integrated approach, where the same company thinks, which makes and put their ads. And WPP has oodles in fraudulent talent, production companies, the largest media shopping business and new AI capacity. Hope here is reading done some of the heavy lifting and a new boss that can still crunch the group.
Although the possibilities extend what happened to it. In one thing, reading will continue to run WPP until the end of the year, suggesting that it can dropped water until before. And then investors need to wait for a new boss to go in, bed and start to go to the ax before looking at things.

The group’s media business, which was previously known as Groupm, may be important that if valued public line, trading 9.6 hours of operation. Through that counting, a buyer will get the rest of the WPP business – which includes brands such as gray, ogilvy, and quietly, and there are about 40 percent of operating profit – free.
Really, advertising is a business concentration, but the economy of a break-up begins to look for pressure. The launch of reading can slow down the way for a brave bidder to get its chance. Until his exit relates to the destruction of the industry caused by AI, technology may – indirectly – provide wpp shareholders.
