WPP Opens Campus in Atlanta

WPP is opening a Campus in Atlanta, GA, bringing together more than 400 of its employees and housing ten of its agencies which are already based in the city. This is WPP's sixth Campus in North America and the first to be unveiled in the US this year.

WPP Campuses act as a hub for its people and agencies, offering creative workspaces, while giving clients access to the group's talent from a single location. Its new Atlanta Campus, based in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, will be home to agencies including AKQA, BCW, EssenceMediacom, GCI Health, GroupM, GTB, Mindshare, Verticurl, VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson.

WPP says the space is close to The Coca-Cola Company's headquarters and to other WPP clients in the heart of Georgia's capital city, where it will aim to foster greater collaboration via dedicated client spaces. Local amenities for staff include dozens of walkable shops and restaurants, and access to the BeltLine.

Michael Houston (pictured), President of WPP in the US, comments: 'We are thrilled to provide a new Campus for our agencies in the Atlanta community, especially in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood which is experiencing unprecedented growth and transformation. Between the interface with the BeltLine and the surrounding amenities, the Atlanta Campus fosters the type of creative environment that will inspire our people, clients and partners alike'.
