Welcome in, today is Monday, September twenty-eighth, and we begin with Campaign's understanding that WPP is set to win Coca-Cola's international media. Following our earlier reporting on Coca-Cola's media review, Campaign says it understands WPP is set to take the company's international media, data and technology account, with a formal announcement expected very soon. We have not seen it matched elsewhere. Per that account, the remit excludes North America, which is running its own review, and Japan and Korea, which Dentsu services. Mediasense is handling the process. Industry reaction leans toward reading this as a retention rather than a win, with some in the trade treating the still-open North America assignment as the more telling contest. Settled, it would be the largest media account resolved this quarter. In the same roundup, Mastercard has named We. Communications its global communications partner after a six-month review, ending a Ketchum relationship that began in two thousand twelve. Boomerang Collaborations takes VinFast India's communications mandate, and Reebok has hired NewGen as its TikTok influencer agency of record across the UK, Germany and France. Also today, WPP is losing its chief financial officer. More About Advertising reports Jennifer Wilson, a close ally of chief executive Cindy Rose, is leaving after three years to take the same role at Diageo. Per that account, she stays at WPP for up to a year, seeing most of Rose's three-year Elevate twenty-eight transformation through, which keeps the finance seat filled through the restructuring rather than open during it. The same reporting notes WPP Media recently consolidated DoorDash's global media, including Deliveroo and Wolt, in a Mediasense review. At Diageo she joins chief executive Dave Lewis, formerly of Tesco and Unilever, who is cutting jobs against declining spirits demand and facing a strike in the Scotch whisky business. Industry reaction frames this as the drinks group's third finance chief in under three years, with some reading that churn alongside the reunion with a cost-focused chief executive as an early signal the savings push will deepen. On the platforms side, an ad-policy call worth watching. The Hollywood Reporter says the distributor of Alex Gibney's Elon Musk documentary has been unable to buy trailer placements on YouTube, TikTok, Meta's platforms, or X, with the three that gave a reason citing political content. Per that reporting, the trailer carries a shot of a twenty twenty-four rally and a reference to that year's election. Meta has rejected Bleecker Street's appeal, while TikTok and YouTube are still reviewing. None of the platforms commented. For buyers, the live question is how that discretion gets applied when creative touches current events, and industry reaction leans toward reading it as inconsistent classification rather than stated policy. Separately, the D&AD results. Isle of Any, the New York independent founded last year by former Droga5 staff, took two of the four Black Pencils and two Agency of the Year titles, according to More About Advertising. A one-year-old shop outranking network creative departments resets what a founder-led independent can put in front of a client. Per that account, its Coinbase campaign, Your Way Out, won the top award in both Visual Effects and Production Design. Havas-owned Uncommon Creative Studio took a Black Pencil in Art Direction for The Ordinary and the Advertising Agency of the Year title, and Publicis Conseil won the fourth, for Impact, with Three Words for AXA. Ogilvy was named Network of the Year, ahead of TBWA and Havas Creative Network. Apple took Brand of the Year, Unilever Client of the Year. Now, a few more headlines moving the trade today. Dave and Buster's has appointed GUT its creative agency of record and Mediaplus for media, Adweek reports, after a review run by Joanne Davis Consulting. On the adtech side, Adweek reports The Trade Desk is repricing employee stock options, a move that could help it keep staff whose options have lost most of their value. Back on the platforms side, Meta, ByteDance and Google are expected to take forty-four percent of Asia Pacific net ad spend this year, per Media Partners Asia. And finally, following our earlier report on AI reaching creative teams, Digiday reports marketers describing a culture of good enough and, in their words, drowning in measurement.
