LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - WPP, the world's biggest
advertising company, said underlying net sales jumped 19.3% in
the second quarter, beating expectations and taking first-half
growth to 11%, ahead of 2019 as clients ramped up spending in
the COVID recovery.
The British group on Thursday upgraded its full-year outlook
to growth of 9-10%, with a headline operating margin towards the
upper end of the 13.5%-14.0% range.
