Sorrell explains: 'The traditional, analogue holding company model is over 70 years old. Digital has altered the landscape permanently and brands need a different type of organization to execute and show up for their customers at every moment in the journey - purely digital, with data-driven creative and content, faster, better, cheaper, and with a single P&L. So far, S4Capital has brought together 24 companies that have each disrupted their industry in complementary ways, buying into our mission to create a new age/new era advertising and marketing services model and disrupting the old'.
