Overview

WPP is a British advertising and communications group assembled by Martin Sorrell from 1985 onwards, starting from a shell company that made wire shopping baskets and growing through relentless acquisition into the largest agency holding company in the world. It owns media buying through GroupM, creative networks including Ogilvy and VML, public relations firms such as Burson, and the consultancy AKQA, serving most of the world's largest advertisers. Headquartered in London and listed there, it has spent recent years consolidating dozens of agency brands into fewer, larger units while facing pressure from consultancies and from platforms selling directly to clients.

WPP scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 35 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 60% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 57 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Products

WPP Open
The group's artificial intelligence and data platform used across agencies for production, planning and content generation. Automating production work is both the group's biggest cost opportunity and its most direct threat, since clients can see the same savings.
wpp.com
AKQA
A digital design and technology consultancy operating at the boundary between creative work and product engineering. It is how the group competes for the work that would otherwise go to management consultancies.
wpp.com
VML
A combined creative, commerce and customer experience network formed by merging VMLY&R with Wunderman Thompson. The consolidation was intended to end the internal duplication that a portfolio of dozens of agencies inevitably produced.
wpp.com
Ogilvy
The creative network founded by David Ogilvy, covering advertising, brand strategy and public relations. It is the group's most recognised creative brand and one of the few agency names clients still ask for directly.
wpp.com
GroupM
The media investment arm that plans and buys advertising space on behalf of clients. Its aggregated buying power across the group's clients is the single largest source of leverage the holding company has with platforms and broadcasters.
