About S4Capital
S4Capital plc (SFOR.L) is a new age/new era digital advertising and marketing services company established by Sir Martin Sorrell in May 2018.
Its strategy is to build a purely digital advertising and marketing services business for global, multi-national, regional, local clients and millennial-driven influencer brands. This will be achieved initially by merging with leading businesses in three areas: first party data, digital content and digital media planning and buying, along with an emphasis on "faster, better, cheaper" executions in an always-on consumer-led environment and with a unitary structure.
Digital is by far the fastest-growing segment of the advertising marketing services market. S4Capital estimates that in 2017, digital accounted for approximately 40 per cent. or $200 billion of total global advertising spend and projects that by 2022 this share will grow to approximately 55 per cent.
S4Capital merged with MediaMonks, the leading, Advertising Age A-listed, creative digital content production company, led by Victor Knaap and Wesley ter Haar, in July 2018. The Company then merged with MightyHive, the market-leading programmatic solutions provider for future thinking marketers and agencies led by Pete Kim and Christopher S. Martin, in December 2018. Victor, Wesley, Peter Rademaker (formerly Chief Financial Officer of MediaMonks, now Chief Financial Officer of S4Capital plc), Pete and Christopher all joined the S4Capital Board as Directors.
The company has a market capitalization of approximately $600 million and around 1,200 people in 15 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle-East and Africa and Asia Pacific.
Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a £1 million "shell" company in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services company, with a market capitalization of over £16 billion on the day he left. Prior to that he was CFO of Saatchi & Saatchi Company plc for 9 years. The S4Capital Board also includes Rupert Faure-Walker, Daniel Pinto, Sue Prevezer and Paul Roy.
