Explanation

WPP (Wire & Plastic Products) is the world's largest advertising and communications services conglomerate, owning agencies like Ogilvy, Wunderman Thompson, and GroupM. Despite its unassuming original name, WPP transformed through acquisitions into a global advertising powerhouse dominating the marketing industry.
