with a unitary structure.

Directors.
The Company now has approximately
7,600 people in 32 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.
