‘I’ll be back’ pledges Martin Sorrell after ‘extraction’ from WPP
Former WPP boss Martin Sorrell has signaled his intention to return to the advertising industry after describing his exit from the ad giant last month as an “extraction”.
Addressing a conference in New York yesterday, Sorrell said he had no plans “to go into voluntary or involuntary retirement” and vowed to “start again”.
As passionate as I am about my industry, if I ever become a market-making industry vet like Sir Marin by 73yr old, with a net worth of £495M and grandchildren, remind me NOT to “vow to start again” for sake of making and placing more shampoo ads.
Appreciate that reminder might be tricky with an anon moniker and 37yrs to go…
C’mon, Darth Vader redeems himself in the end.
Now that you mention it, there is a resemblance.
