About S (4) Capital
S (4) Capital (SFOR.L) is the tech-led, new age/new era digital
advertising and marketing services company, established by Sir
Martin Sorrell in May 2018.
Its strategy is to build a purely digital advertising and
marketing services business for global, multinational, regional,
local clients and millennial-driven influencer brands. This will be
achieved by integrating leading businesses in three practice areas:
content, data&digital media and technology services, along with
an emphasis on "faster, better, cheaper" executions in an always-on
consumer-led environment, with a unitary structure.
Digital is by far the fastest-growing segment of the advertising
market. S (4) Capital estimates that in 2021 digital accounted for
approximately 60% or $420-450 billion of total global advertising
spend of $700-750 billion (excluding over $500 billion of trade
promotion marketing, the primary target of the Amazon advertising
platform) and projects that by 2022 total global advertising spend
will expand to $770-850 billion and digital's share will grow to
approximately 65% and by 2024 to approximately 70%, accelerated by
the impact of covid-19.
In 2018, S (4) Capital combined with MediaMonks, the leading
AdAge A-listed creative digital content production company led by
Victor Knaap and Wesley ter Haar, and then with MightyHive, the
market-leading digital media solutions provider for future thinking
marketers and agencies, led by Peter Kim and Christopher S. Martin.
Since then, MediaMonks and MightyHive have combined with more than
25 companies across content, data&digital media and technology
services. For a full list, please see the S (4) Capital website .
In August 2021, S (4) Capital launched its unitary brand by merging
MediaMonks and MightyHive into Media.Monks, represented by a
dynamic logo mark that features MightyHive's iconic hexagon. As the
operational brand, Media.Monks underpins S (4) Capital's agility,
digital knowledge and efficiency and is the next step in delivering
on its foundational promise to unify content, data&digital
media and technology services.
Victor Knaap, Wesley ter Haar, Pete Kim, Christopher Martin,
Mary Basterfield and Scott Spirit all joined the S (4) Capital
Board as Directors. The S (4) Capital Board also includes Rupert
Faure Walker, Paul Roy, Daniel Pinto, Sue Prevezer, Elizabeth
Buchanan, Naoko Okumoto, Margaret Ma Connolly, Peter Rademaker and
Miles Young.
The Company now has well over 7,500 people in 33 countries
across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa and
Asia-Pacific and a current market capitalisation of approximately
GBP3.0 billion (c.$4.0 billion) and would rank inside the FTSE 150.
It achieved Unicorn status in a little over one year, unique in the
advertising and marketing services industry. Sir Martin was CEO of
WPP for 33 years, building it from a GBP1 million "shell" company
in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services
company with a market capitalisation of over GBP16 billion on the
day he left. Today its market capitalisation is GBP13.8 billion.
Prior to that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi
& Saatchi Company Plc for nine years.
