I think Cindy Rose, WPP's new CEO and she did a live intro yesterday

If you’re referring to Cindy Rose in yesterday’s town hall - Yes, but I don’t think that comment is worth spinning. She was talking about how long she’s admired WPP as a whole, emphasizing history, so it made sense to me for her to call out legacy companies, even ones that no longer exist, because that’s how long she’s been paying attention. I honestly don’t think the comment was anything to worry or speculate about.

Pretty much.

I don’t admire VML or GroupM either.

I mean it’s not controversial to respect legacy brands. WPP messing with the JWT brand was a huge mistake in my biased opinion as a former JWTer.
