In recent strategic developments, WPP Scangroup has been executing a comprehensive multi-year operational turnaround and restructuring program focused on cost right-sizing, commercial discipline, and aligning regional agency operations with WPP’s global Elevate28 transformation strategy to integrate creative, media, and production capabilities while scaling artificial intelligence-enabled tools. The company restructured its senior executive management through the appointment of Akua Brayie Owusu-Nartey as Group Chief Executive Officer and CEO of Ogilvy Africa, and reconstituted its Board of Directors with international network appointees to enhance corporate governance, optimize capital allocation, and counter client attrition across its Sub-Saharan African footprint.
