BARCELONA, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Advertising group WPP
will consider making acquisitions to bolster its capabilities in
faster growing segments such as technology and commerce after
selling a majority stake in its research arm Kantar, Chief
Executive Mark Read said on Thursday.
"We have the ability to grow organically, there's also the
opportunity to invest and acquire attractive businesses to
reposition the portfolio," he told an audience of investors at
the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference.
"Now we have the Kantar situation nearly behind us, we can
start to think more tactically - not go crazy - about how
acquisitions can add to what we are doing in those areas."
