Campaign Podcast: Martin Sorrell on the future of media and agency diversity

Martin Sorrell joins the Campaign podcast to talk about what the economic downturn means for the media and TV industry. He reckons British TV broadcasters could struggle to hold off the threat from global streamers such as Netflix & Disney-plus, which have recently begun selling advertising. 

The S4 Capital and WPP founder believes that UK broadcasters could be acquisition targets of large tech and media giants from the US. He also casts his thoughts on the impact of AI on advertising agencies and holding groups.
