e4mrecap: The week that was
We list a few important stories that you may have missed in the week gone by
As a countdown to Cannes Lions 2018, we focussed on news and campaigns that will be talked about when the festival starts on June 18. We also did a series on Cannes’ India jurors talking about their respective categories. Last weekend, Sir Martin Sorrell faced an allegation that he used money from WPP to pay for a prostitute. Sorrell continues to strongly deny the allegations ever since news of the probe broke in early April. After weeks of speculation, following his exit from WPP, The Wall Street Journal reported that a probe into his conduct had investigated the claim. It is unclear what the inquiry had found, the paper said.
Speaking of Sorrell, WPP has reported a 3.4% drop in revenue in the last four months. This comes after the resignation of WPP chief, Sorrell earlier this year. It is also believed that investors are angry with the payout given to Sorrell after his exit which sees him leave with share options that could be worth millions of pounds.
Cheil Worldwide India has emerged as one of the strong contenders from India already. The agency has bagged two shortlists in the Innovation Lions and Glass Lions categories. Uber’s Chief Brand Officer Bozoma Saint John is leaving the company to join Endeavor. The former Apple exec had joined Uber last year. At Endeavor, she will be the Chief Marketing Officer.
