About S(4) Capital
S(4) Capital plc (SFOR.L) is a new age/new era digital
advertising and marketing services company established by Sir
Martin Sorrell in May 2018.
Its strategy is to build a purely digital advertising and
marketing services business for global, multi-national, regional,
local clients and millennial-driven influencer brands. This will be
achieved initially by integrating leading businesses in three
areas: first party data, digital content, digital media planning
and buying, along with an emphasis on "faster, better, cheaper"
executions in an always-on consumer-led environment, with a unitary
structure.
Digital is by far the fastest-growing segment of the advertising
market. S(4) Capital estimates that in 2017 digital accounted for
approximately 40 per cent. or $200 billion of total global
advertising spend of $500 billion (excluding about $400 billion of
trade support, the primary target of the Amazon advertising
platform), and projects that by 2022 this share will grow to
approximately 55 per cent.
S(4) Capital integrated with MediaMonks, the leading,
Advertising Age A-listed creative digital content production
company, led by Victor Knaap and Wesley ter Haar, in July 2018, and
with MightyHive, the market-leading programmatic solutions provider
for future thinking marketers and agencies, led by Peter Kim and
Christopher S. Martin, in December 2018.
Victor, Wesley, Pete, Christopher and Peter Rademaker (formerly
Chief Financial Officer of MediaMonks, now Chief Financial Officer
of S(4) Capital), all joined the S(4) Capital Board as Directors.
The S(4) Capital Board also includes Rupert Faure Walker, Daniel
Pinto, Sue Prevezer and Paul Roy.
The company has a market capitalization of approximately GBP500
million ($650 million) and approximately 1,250 people in 16
countries, across the Americas, Europe, the Middle-East and Africa
and Asia-Pacific.
Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a GBP1
million "shell" company in 1985 into the world's largest
advertising and marketing services company with a market
capitalization of over GBP16 billion on the day he left. Prior to
that he was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi
Company plc for 9 years.
