  • WPP Press Release Public Strategies Inc Joins WPP Aug06
    Public Strategies, Inc. Joins WPP 1 August 2006 Public Strategies, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based public affairs firm that serves a diverse clientele including some of the world’s largest and best-known corporations, non-profit organizations, associations and professional firms, today joined WPP, the global communications services company. "Public Strategies has a unique approach to public affairs, something it describes as the Fifth Seat at the table. By engaging with clients at the highest levels, Public Strategies ensures consideration of public opinion and the media in important corporate decisions," said Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP. "In addition, Public Strategies has the depth and breadth of talent to deliver on its promises." “We’re pleased to become part of the WPP family of companies,” said Public Strategies Chairman Jack Martin. “Over the last several years, we have been approached repeatedly by companies offering to buy Public Strategies. WPP’s offer was the right one because it met our three core criteria: It allows our firm to maintain its independence, provides our clients with additional resources and our employees with extensive professional opportunities.” Public Strategies, established in 1988 by Martin, now has nearly 175 employees in 15 U.S. cities and two offices in London and Mexico City. Much of its practice involves managing high-stakes campaigns for corporate clients, anticipating and responding to crises. It helps forward-thinking companies assess public opinion and risk, and develops strategies that affect perception and systems for managing uncertainty. Public Strategies’ clients often seek its help in building organizational capabilities. It handles the outsourcing of entire functions such as government relations, corporate and employee communications and places senior executives in interim leadership roles directly in client offices.

  • Immersive Brand Experiences & the Aspirational Shopper
    WPP GLOBAL RETAIL FORUM MAY 5 & 6 2016 EDEN ROC RESORT MIAMI IMMERSIVE BRAND EXPERIENCES & THE ASPIRATIONAL SHOPPER THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! PLATINUM SPONSORS GOLD SPONSORS SILVER SPONSOR SESSION SPONSORS DESIGN PARTNER PR SPONSOR WELCOME It is my pleasure to welcome you to WPP’s Global Retail Forum, hosted by The Store. We’ve curated a range of topics and cases that represent the leading international trends in retail. With our theme, “Immersive Brand Experiences & The Aspirational Shopper,” we hope to deliver both innovation and inspiration. The sessions today and tomorrow will highlight how data, content and technology are having a huge impact on the ways retail marketers can reach shoppers, and how shoppers experience retail. Brands are under pressure to stay relevant and engage, but by looking ahead to the new tools and technology adoption, the possibilities for personalization are endless. The importance of creativity has never been more critical as we look at the application of technology in our environment. The future of retail will optimize physical stores, with increased emphasis of “soft” digital experiences within them. In this session, we will also look at retail in the context of society. Retail helps facilitate the fundamental need for people to connect with one another. The rise of social networks and Big Data enables marketers to not only have a better understanding of consumers but to engage in long-term shared values that can foster innovation and open up new markets. Please open your mind to the ideas presented today and feel free to ask questions. Even if you work in different categories than our speakers cover, there will be many concepts to apply to your business.
