The Campus houses more than 2,000 of Canada’s
best, brightest and most creative minds
WPP (NYSE: WPP) today celebrates the opening of its new Toronto
Campus, a creative hub bringing together 2,000 people across
multiple WPP agencies. The Campus opening marks an important
milestone in WPP’s vision of making Toronto one of its leading
creative centres of excellence in North America.
Designed by WPP company BDG Architecture + Design, the 250,000
square foot Campus located at the Waterfront Innovation Centre was
built with flexibility and collaboration in mind, allowing for
greater interconnectivity and creativity amongst WPP companies
including GroupM (and its agencies Wavemaker, Mindshare and
EssenceMediacom), Ogilvy, Wunderman Thompson, Hill+Knowlton
Strategies, Grey, TAXI, Hogarth Worldwide, Landor & Fitch and
more. The Campus, which sits on the shores of Lake Ontario, is
equipped with the latest, fully integrated technology, has a range
of on-site amenities and hosts a variety of different working
spaces.
WPP Campuses reflect the company’s wider culture and strategy,
bringing people and agencies together in world-class, inclusive,
creative workspaces while giving clients access to the breadth and
depth of WPP talent from a single location. The new Toronto Campus
is the latest to be created around the world, joining those
recently opened in Prague, Milan, Detroit and London. In keeping
with WPP’s commitment to achieve net zero across its operations by
2025, the building is currently in the process of obtaining
Platinum LEED Certification.
Arthur Fleischmann, WPP Country Manager for Canada, said:
“Toronto is a vibrant city known globally for top creative talent
and work. The new WPP Toronto Campus represents the best this city
has to offer in digital, advertising, media, communications, and PR
all under one roof, helping to inspire creativity and co-creation
each and every day. And while our agency brands have their own
distinct culture and talent, our Campus also enables our teams to
come together to collaborate on extraordinary work for
clients.”
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, said: “Toronto has long been an
important global centre for creative talent, and we’re delighted to
make our own contribution to that by investing in a fantastic new
Campus in the city. Bringing together a community of more than
2,000 of our people under one roof will mean greater collaboration
between our agencies, more integrated solutions, and even better
work for our clients in Canada and beyond.”
