The biggest job move in global advertising and marketing has just happened. The most charismatic and accomplished executive in the sector will disappear. The FTSE 100’s best paid boss leaves his role. Apart from that, it’s of little consequence. https://t.co/QTlMQwKzTf

4. ‘Good riddance’
Once chaired a panel with Sir Martin. He was cantankerous, a bit off topic and, well, will leave it at that.
But it’s undeniable his company has been a transformative force in our industry and his agencies produce remarkable talent with bright futures. https://t.co/TgHk2nMoJV

I do believe I was there. @PRCA_UK National Conference. He’s wasn’t exactly tactful. But he was ‘him’. And don’t we all want to to be so? https://t.co/GCKU0SNdjO

I doubt we will see the like of Martin Sorrell again. It took vision, risk, innovation, determination and energy to build a global leader. Some have some of those qualities; very few have all.
