'We gave this review everything we had': GTB reacts to Ford decision in internal memo
Posted in: Uncategorized
WPP may have avoided losing the Ford Motor Co. account altogether, yet the automaker’s choice of BBDO as lead creative agency is a financial and psychological blow to WPP and its dedicated Global Team Blue unit. While WPP retains significant business from Ford, the move marks a seismic shift for a holding company whose agencies have had ties to the automaker since 1943.
