The Media and Marketing podcast: Johnny Hornby & Dan Clays

In this week’s Media and Marketing podcast, host John Reynolds interviews Johnny Hornby, the founder of The & Partnership, and Dan Clays, the UK CEO of Omnicom-owned media agency OMD.

Hornby gives his take on what is happening with Martin Sorrell’s exit from WPP and what this means for the company. Is Sorrell wounded? Will he launch a new advertising venture? Why haven’t WPP’s rivals been trying to benefit from an unsteady ship at WPP? He also looks at who is to replace Sorrell and gives us his choice for the job.

Meanwhile, Clays explains why he has managed such a relatively long run in senior management at OMD in comparison to many of his peers, and also tackles some of the big issues facing media agencies today, such as transparency and the threat from Google and Facebook. He also discusses the future of Omnicom in the UK.
