17570: WPP Media Whistleblower Lawsuit Takes More Blows.

 

Business Insider and Adweek reported on a new filing in the WPP whistleblower lawsuit.

The filing alleges Sony—a major client of the single White operating company—conducted an independent investigation and presented the findings to WPP in 2025.

The analysis from Sony stated WPP operated a “global crime scheme” across numerous markets, including China—where the former head of WPP’s media operation in the country received a life imprisonment sentence for media-related improprieties, and two other executives were also hit with stiff sentences.

Such allegations continue to counter WPP CEO Cindy Rose’s proclamations of the corporation being a trusted growth partner for brands.

Busted growth partner appears to be a more appropriate term.
