We have three objectives. The first is to move from where we are now - which is a 40/40/20 company. 40% of our sales and revenues in the US, 40% of Europe and 20% in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, and Eastern Europe - to one third, one third, one third. Why? Because by 2014, two thirds of the world’s population will be in Asia. We’ve already seen that Asia, with well over a quarter of the world’s population including Vietnam with 84 million population, provides clients with very important opportunities. So that’s one objective.

The second objective. Currently we’re about 50% in advertising and 50% outside advertising, (ie public relations and public affairs, information, insight and consultancy, branding and identity, healthcare and specialist communications.) We want to move that to two thirds of our business. Why? Because network television has tended to rise in terms of price in most markets faster than the general price of inflation and secondly the new technologies are offering our clients increased opportunities in terms of alternative investment in new media. It’s not just the internet, its mobile, its iPods, its video iPods, its VOIP, … all the sexier opportunities of new media.

And the final objective, currently about a third of our US$10bil revenues is in market research, and in direct, interactive and internet … so about $3.3bil is coming from these areas. We want this to become half of our business. Why? Because we think measurability is becoming more and more important to our clients and they will not make significant investments without quantitative justification.

So if you said to me what will WPP look in five to 10 years it will be more African, more Middle Eastern, more Asian, more Latin American, more Eastern European and will be more in services outside traditional advertising and in more measurable areas of market research, direct, interactive and internet.
