Can I get hired by another WWP shop if I was let go by a WPP shop 13 years ago? Or am I not eligible for rehire since it was performance-related?

Kinda of. apply and tell them you used to work for the company. Don’t lie. Dont offer. The odds that they have data from your prev experience is slim. If it happened in the last 3-5 years then they probably have the data. Older than that there’s a good chance they don’t. Again dont ever lie but don’t say more than title, dates, salary.

Thank you for this advice and I’ve built a good reputation since that time. I just see a role at wpp that really interest me.

It just depends on if the HR person marked you for rehire or not. Most likely you can still get hired as I think they only mark you can’t if it’s a bigger issue beyond performance

13 years at the same holding company but not agency seems like a safe bet

I don't know where you are, I think in the UK 6 years max is normal for holding employment records.
I can understand why you'd be worried, but I say go for it. 🔥
