The S4 Capital supremo will be landing in TNQ to be with us, live and in person, at Cannes in Cairns, presented by Pinterest.
When it comes to big names in media and marketing, few come larger than British business tycoon Sir Martin Sorrell.
He’s the Godfather of digital marketing, the founder and former Chief Executive of WPP is showing no sign of slowing down as he continues to lead his venture, S4 Capital, to greatness in the brave new digital world. And he’s hopping across the pond to be with us in Cairns.
Sir Martin Sorrell is Executive Chairman of S4 Capital plc, building a purely digital advertising and marketing services business for global, multinational, regional, local clients and millennial-driven influencer brands.
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. When Sir Martin left in April 2018, WPP had a market capitalisation of over £16 billion, revenues of over £15 billion, profits of approximately £2 billion and over 200,000 people in 113 countries. Before that, Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi plc for nine years and worked for James Gulliver, Mark McCormack and Glendinning Associates before that.
S4 Capital plc merged with MediaMonks, its content practice, in July 2018 and MightyHive, its programmatic practice, in December 2018 and has added eight additional content programmatic and data companies to both in 2019 and one in 2020. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange under SFOR.L, and after a little over one year, S4 Capital plc has over 2400 people in 30 countries, with a market capitalisation of over $1.2 billion.
Sir Martin supports a number of leading business schools and universities, including his alma maters, Harvard Business School and Cambridge University, charities, and his family foundation.
It’s a hell of an exclusive you’d be sore to miss.
Why wait?
