Kate Walker: Group client director WPP AUNZ
“Horizontality strategy”
WTF . . . please can advertising not sound like consulting. Don’t sound like Accenture (or WPP), sound like real world people. In some quarters this is called ‘cutting the bullshit.’ Would be a blessing. And two years leave . . . if the very talented Kate was just appointed to the role, what was she taking leave from? Curious as I want that!
