And why. No company in the world has a greater or more varied repertory of talent. 203,000 people work for WPP companies. Between them, they offer more than 80 distinct skills on which our clients can draw. They can do figures and they can do fantasy. They can learn from the past to make sense of the future. They can buy time and space with a heavyweight’s efficiency and they can fill that time and space with a storyteller’s delicacy. No two clients are alike, so the task of client management is both complex and simple. You need first to understand each client’s needs: in depth and in detail. And then you need to know which of those 80-something skills – working in harmony and ignoring traditional divisions – will best meet those needs. The management skill lies in the tailored application of talent to task. Because it disdains the vertical silos that can deter liberated collaboration, we call it horizontality. • 4 WPP Annual Report 2017 5 WPP Annual Report 2017 What we do Media Data Investment Investment Advertising Management Management Client Teams Country and Regional Managers Digital transformation, ecommerce and shopper Production management Shared services 6 WPP Annual Report 2017 Specialist Communications Public Relations Brand Health (including digital, & Public Affairs Consulting & Wellness direct and interactive) 7 WPP Annual Report 2017 Where we are WPP companies operate in 112 countries.
