in an always-on consumer-led environment, with a unitary
structure.

Colin Day.
The Company now has approximately 8,700 people in 32 countries
with approximately 70% of revenue across the Americas, 20% across
Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 10% across Asia-Pacific. The
longer-term objective is a geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. Content
currently accounts for approximately 60% of revenue,
Data&digital media 30% and Technology Services 10%. The
long-term objective for the practices is a split of
50%:25%:25%.
Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a GBP1
