About this listen
Cindy Rose is stepping in as WPP’s new CEO — and with the holding group’s share price at a 16-year low and recent client losses piling up, this isn’t just a leadership change — it’s an inflection point. Tom and David break down what her appointment really signals: a shift toward AI-led operational transformation — and what that means for creativity, agencies, and advertisers alike. Drawing from their inside knowledge of WPP, they explore whether Rose can leapfrog the competition or if this is simply a safe, stabilizing move for a leaking ship. In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What Cindy Rose’s hiring really says about WPP’s future
- Why “leapfrog time” means moving beyond catch-up strategy
- The legacy of Mark Read and where he fell short
- What’s at stake for agencies in a red ocean landscape
- A candid look at whether creativity will still matter in an AI-led WPP
