What does it take to build a global PR and advertising empire in the age of AI?
In this special episode of the BritCham Podcast, Co-Chair of the Marketing & Communications Committee Andrew Clark sits down with Sir Martin Sorrell, Founder and Executive Chairman of S4 Capital and the visionary who built WPP into the world's largest advertising and marketing services company over 33 years.
From his unique vantage point spanning Western and Asian markets, Sir Martin shares why Singapore continues to be a beacon for global business, what the UK can learn from the city-state's economic model, and how he's reimagining advertising for the digital age with S4 Capital - a purely digital agency built for millennial-driven and global brands.
The conversation explores the seismic shifts reshaping the industry: the turbulent year for content and media, how AI is transforming marketing across five critical areas, and whether we should be excited or concerned about platforms like Meta automating creative and optimisation.
Sir Martin also reflects on the cultural differences between doing business in the West versus Asia, what ROI really means for brands expanding into the region, and his advice for the next generation of creatives and entrepreneurs navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.
🎧 Tune in for candid insights from one of the world's most influential business leaders on leadership, innovation, and the future of advertising and marketing.
