WPP PLC (WPP.LN) said Thursday that its GroupM subsidiary and
Zer, a company of Turkey's Koc Group, have formed a partnership to
launch a new digital media agency called Ingage.
The FTSE 100-listed advertising company said that the joint
venture will be "fully backed" by WPP and Koc Group.
The company said Ingage signals WPP's intent to further develop
its business in Turkey.
The partnership combines the global media experience of GroupM
with the local market strength of Koc Group, and will target local
leadership as well as regional influence, WPP said.
The news comes after WPP reportedly submitted an offer for
Netherlands-based digital creative agency MediaMonks, in a bidding
war with S4 Capital, the new venture of its former Chief Executive
Martin Sorrell.
Shares are up 0.7% to 1182 pence.
