Thjnk is no longer independent, but becomes part of the WPP network
Thjnk, an agency founded in Hamburg and also based in Zurich, was acquired by advertising giant WPP.
This was announced by the world's largest advertising group under CEO Martin Sorrell on Thursday morning. Thjnk emerged in 2012 from the agency Kempertrautmann, which was founded in 2004, and now has its own offices in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Munich, Zurich and New York. The Swiss branch was founded a year ago under the leadership of Alexander Jaggy and Andrea Bison (Werbewoche.ch reported). Today, its customers include companies such as Bio Suisse, Edelweiss and Swissôtel.
WPP is the largest advertising group in the world. The British holding company includes Grey, JWT, Ogilvy, Scholz & Friends and Y&R, among others. The purchase price of the latest addition, Thjnk, was not disclosed. The founding partners Karen Heumann, Armin Jochum and CEO Ulrich Pallas will remain at the helm of Thjnk. According to WPP, the agency will continue to operate as an independent brand. (hae)
