with a unitary structure.

includes Rupert Faure Walker, Daniel Pinto, Sue Prevezer, Elizabeth

Non-Executive Directors.
The Company now has approximately
7,550 people in 33 countries with approximately 80% of net revenue
across the Americas, 15% across Europe, the Middle East and Africa
and 5% across Asia-Pacific. The longer-term objective is a
geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. Content currently accounts for
approximately 60% of net revenue, Data&Digital Media 25% and
Technology Services 15%. 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 £1 million 'shell' company in 1985 into the
world's largest
advertising and marketing services company, with a market
capitalisation of over £16 billion on the day he left. Prior to
that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi &
Saatchi Company Plc for nine years.
