Detailed SWOT Analysis of WPP

Weakness

Opportunity

1. New culture under New CEO: Sir Martin Sorrel’s extravagant way of running the WPP group and lack of transparency in executive pay package and personal conduct has already raised red flag among shareholders. The new CEO brought new promises for the organization. WPP Group’s revenue was falling week-by-week when Mark Read joined as CEO. The company had also lost major clients expecting WPP’s downfall under the new CEO. However, Mark Read has been sturdy and announced a three-year strategy for WPP’s revenue bounce-back in December 2018. Read perceives the industrial turmoil as a structural shift rather than structural decline. Hence, he wants to drive WPP through disruptive digital adoption. WPP has repositioned itself as creative transformation company – bringing transformation to client’s brand – through technological and data expertise, rooted on WPP employees’ creative minds. Simplification of organizational structure and simplification of what they offer – is the way forward. WPP’s future offer will cover four areas: communications, experience, commerce and technology. The structure will be represented by their client-centricity, fewer and integrated companies and letting go of underperforming companies, and country-level integration. Reduction in owned companies and country-as-a-single-market has been suggested by the market analysts for cost-cutting and efficient management from Sir Martin Sorrel’s tenure. It was a fresh change to the organization outlook for which many investors are quite expectant.

2. Investment in creativity and Technology: WPP clients have been vocal and consistent about harnessing WPP’s creative expertise to transform their companies through the technological paradigm shift in the recent years. For the growth of the clients and shareholder, it is a no-brainer for WPP management to increase investment in creativity, talent and technology. WPP has been repeatedly rated as the Holding company of the year in Cannes International Festival of Creativity till 2017. It will try to grab hold of that most creative company position in future too. While creativity only – has been the core competency of the Group with exploration in digital aspects, due to heavy competition from disruptive advertising agencies like Google and Facebook, technological paradigm shift is the need of the hour. WPP has to overhaul its current digital-focus and evolve to a disruptive digital ad agency itself to sustain in the industry for years to come. WPP’s unique technology partnership and strategic merger of its owned brands – will help it in gaining competitive advantage.

3. Exploring emerging markets: Emerging countries like India have risen in Ease of Doing Business Index over the recent years. While market is saturated in developed countries for WPP group, there are numerous clients in the emerging countries who can avail marketing expertise of WPP. The most competitive companies from emerging economies are becoming global players that outperform their counterparts in advanced economies. These are the potential clients for WPP. As part of increased investment in India, for example, WPP’s GroupM has completely owned India-based mobile marketing agency Madhouse in August 2018 looking forward to the explosion of mobile marketing in the country. Wunderman will remain as a key stakeholder in WPP’s India presence. In mid-2017, the WPP Group’s growth had slowed down in the emerging markets. However, with its increased investment in India, WPP projects a positive outlook on their prospective future performance in such countries which will in turn result in increased profitability in the long run.
