Mumbai-based WPP Media associate director client services, Shubham Moitra has just spent the last week shadowing some of WPP Medias top talent here in Australia.
Why you may ask? Well, his team was named runner-up of WPP Media’s The Limitless Pitch, winning an international exchange at another WPP Media office of his choice in the region.
Moitra chose to make the great southern descent to Sydney. His visit combined job shadowing, pitch rehearsals, market and agency sessions and opportunities to work alongside colleagues from across WPP Media and its agencies.
What drew Moitra to Australia was the fact “he’s heard of the great work coming out of this market, with recent business wins and key retentions”. And he just “really wanted to come and meet the people who are behind driving such fantastic work year-round.”
For Shubham, the visit prompted a broader reflection on how local context shapes strategic decision-making, what different markets can learn from one another and the value of stepping beyond the familiar and of course an introduction to another media market.

WPP Media created The Limitless Pitch to develop and celebrate emerging talent across the region, giving people with fewer than 10 years’ industry experience the opportunity to sharpen their strategic thinking, learn from senior mentors and put their ideas to the test on a regional stage. Working in teams of two, participants respond to a real client brief before pitching their thinking live to senior WPP Media leaders and clients.
Launched in 2025, the program attracted more than 130 teams across APMEA, including 31 from Australia and New Zealand. Twelve progressed to the local final, with two Australian teams going on to represent the market in the regional competition. Summer Treseder and Kate O’Loughlin were ultimately named the regional winners, earning the opportunity to attend the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity to immerse themselves in the one of the industry’s pinnacle events. The two runner-up teams were awarded an international exchange at another WPP Media office of their choice in the region.

“By connecting our emerging talent across the region and helping them build their skills, we’re inspiring them to push the limits in a future where media is everywhere and everything.”
