16423: Canceling J. Walter Thompson, Y&R, And Wunderman.

 

The LinkedIn post depicted above memorializes J. Walter Thompson, the iconic White advertising agency that will officially become history—along with Y&R and Wunderman—as WPP merges the firms under the VML masthead.

 

Advertising Age also commemorated “three historic agency names” being retired from the Adland roster.

 

This is not a case of cancel culture; rather, it’s corporate cancel culture. Although it didn’t help that the White advertising agencies were culturally clueless too.
