WPP touted \u201cresilient performance\u201d in the Q2 earnings report it released on Friday, despite lowering its full-year forecast.<\/p>\n
The holding company\u2019s organic revenue rose 2% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year, reaching $7.4 billion. In Q2, revenue in the US fell 4.5%\u2014WPP\u2019s earnings report stated that its North America region saw a decline, primarily due to decreased spend from technology clients.<\/p>\n
WPP revised its guidance to 1.5%\u20133% growth for the year, down from the 3%\u20135% growth it forecasted last quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur media business, GroupM, grew consistently across the first six months as did our businesses in the UK, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Client spending in consumer packaged goods, financial services and healthcare remained good and, despite short-term challenges, our technology clients represent an important driver of long-term growth,\u201d CEO Mark Read said.<\/p>\n
Despite suffering losses from its tech clients, WPP has been strengthening its tech investments, particularly in AI. In May, the company struck a partnership with chipmaker Nvidia to create an AI-fueled \u201ccontent engine.\u201d It also has \u201cexciting future plans\u201d for AI software company Satalia, which it acquired in 2021, according to Read.<\/p>\n
WPP joins a number of other holding companies, such as Publicis, IPG, and Omnicom, that have invested in AI this year. WPP also recently inked a partnership with Spotify that will give it early access to the platform\u2019s ad products.<\/p>\n
Besides strengthening its tech offerings, WPP has been building its agency portfolio. Earlier this year it acquired two influencer marketing agencies, Goat and Obviously, and bought a 30% stake in Majority, a creative agency focused on diversity. And it snagged new business during the first half of this year, including production work for Mondel\u0113z, which owns blue-chip brands like Cadbury, Chips Ahoy!, and Oreo.<\/p>\n
WPP picked up several awards at Cannes this year, including five Grand Prix and 165 Lions. WPP subsidiary Mindshare was the most-awarded media agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
