About S4 Capital

 

S(4) Capital plc (SFOR.L) is the tech-led, new age/new era digital
advertising, marketing and technology services company, established by Sir
Martin Sorrell in May 2018.

 

Our strategy is to build a purely digital advertising and marketing services
business for global, multinational, regional, and local clients, and
millennial-driven influencer brands. This will be achieved by integrating
leading businesses in three practices: Content, Data&Digital Media and
Technology Services, along with an emphasis on 'faster, better, cheaper, more'
execution in an always-on consumer-led environment, with a unitary structure.
Victor Knaap, Wesley ter Haar, Christopher S. Martin, Scott Spirit and Mary
Basterfield all joined the S4 Capital Board as Executive Directors. The S4
Capital Board also includes Rupert Faure Walker, Paul Roy, Daniel Pinto, Sue
Prevezer, Elizabeth Buchanan, Naoko Okumoto, Margaret Ma Connolly, Miles Young
and Colin Day.

 

The Company now has approximately 7,700 people in 32 countries with
approximately 80% of net revenue across the Americas, 15% across Europe, the
Middle East and Africa and 5% across Asia-Pacific. The longer-term objective
is a geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. Content currently accounts for
approximately 60% of net revenue, Data&Digital Media 25% and Technology
Services 15%. The long-term objective for the practices is a split of
50%:25%:25%.

 

Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a £1 million 'shell'
company in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services
company, with a market capitalisation of over £16 billion on the day he left.
Prior to that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi
Company Plc for nine years.
