Sir Martin Sorrell On What It Takes To Be Successful In Business


Listen Later

Today I am chatting with Sir Martin Sorrell, who is Executive Chairman of digital advertising and marketing company, S4 Capital plc, which currently has a market capitalization of over $1.2 billion. He was also the CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a £1 million “shell” company in 1985 into the world’s largest advertising and marketing services company. Prior to that, Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi plc for 9 years and worked for James Gulliver, Mark McCormack and Glendinning Associates before that.

Throughout this interview Sir Martin speaks very openly and authentically about his journey. This interview is a great listen for anyone looking to gain powerful business insights from someone with decades of experience.

In this interview you will learn about:

  • How Sir Martin got his start in business
  • What it really takes to become successful in business
  • How the advertising industry has changed overtime
  • Why retirement is overrated
  • The importance of persistence and speed
  • And so much more...
