John Singleton, the troublemaking larrikin adman who's turning 80 this year, was all but penniless when he returned to advertising in 1985. Then he and his lieutenants, Russell Tate and Mike Connaghan ultimately built a holding company worth close to $1bn. He was “impossible to follow” in a new business pitch but with Singleton's old group now back firmly in British control after WPP acquired and delisted WPP AUNZ, the trio reflect on what was and what could have been (with some trademark swipes along the way).     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After three years throwing jabs at erstwhile rivals, Sir Martin Sorrell finally admits he couldn't change WPP fast enough. He says public company structures doom the holdcos to failure, hobbling their ability to change direction at the requisite speed. Meanwhile, he blasts WPP AUNZ's attempts to effect change, suggesting the London-controlled group will remain ‘'rudderless'' if it fails to appoint a strong parochial leader. Naturally, everyone else gets a poke too as Sorrell graces Mi3's 100th podcast, which probably isn't suitable for the thin skinned. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
