WPP employs over 190,000 people (including associates and investments) working in 112 countries and has annual revenues of £19 billion. WPP now embraces some of the best-known names in marketing, advertising and public relations, including Ogilvy & Mather, J Walter Thompson, Y&R, Grey, Burson-Marsteller and H+K Strategies, amongst many other companies.
