WPP Plans Up to 1,000 More Job Cuts Amid AI-Driven Restructuring
British advertising firm WPP plans to cut up to 1,000 additional jobs by the end of 2026, adding to over 11,000 layoffs since early 2025. Under CEO Cindy Rose, the company is accelerating restructuring efforts focused on simplifying operations, reducing costs, and integrating AI technologies. WPP is also selling non-core businesses and consolidating office spaces. These changes reflect a broader industry slowdown, with at least 18,000 jobs cut across major agencies over the past 18 months.
