Earlier on the same day, WPP announced plans to cut an additional 1,000 jobs by the end of the year, adding to approximately 11,000 positions eliminated since early 2025. This action supports the holding company's multi-year strategic plan, unveiled in February, to become a "simpler, lower-cost, AI-enabled business."
