1,000 more job cuts at WPP show the holdco model being reshaped by AI

Why it matters

WPP's latest round of roughly 1,000 job cuts is framed here as a structural sign that AI is reshaping the holding-company model, not just a cost-cutting cycle. It's another data point on agency headcount and operating models shrinking as AI absorbs production and account work. Relevant context for anyone benchmarking agency staffing or pricing models.
