Sorrell Back in Buying Mode
WPP Group is gearing up to restart its acquisition strategy across the Asia-Pacific region, according to CEO Sir Martin Sorrell, speaking at The Financial Times and Marketing magazine event in Singapore on Tuesday.
 According to www.marketing-interactive.com , Sorrell said as many as eight deals were currently on the table, although he considers them 'small'.
WPP last week bought Brazilian digital agencies Midia Digital and I-Cherry, firms which Sorrell says match the group's strategy of 'new markets, new media and consumer insights'.
Predicting market growth this year for India and China of 8.75% and 8% respectively, Sorrell pronounced himself 'bullish about the industry as a whole' but particularly so in the case of Asia, adding: We will continue to see a flow of good opportunities in this part of the world.'
