WPP Launches 'Open Pro' For Self-Serve, SMB Clients


WPP today unveiled a new version of its marketing operating system WPP Open that’s designed to appeal to smaller clients across the global ad market. 

It’s called WPP Open Pro, designed as a self-serve marketing platform where brands can plan, create and publish campaigns independently. 

WPP CEO Cindy Rose said that the company’s staff would always “be at the heart of what we do...with WPP Open at the core.”

That said, she added that the new Pro offer “puts our AI advantage directly into the hands of a much wider array of brands and businesses. This is about transforming how marketing is delivered, expanding our total addressable market, and giving more brands the tools they need to lead in the AI era.” 

The company stressed that while Pro is designed to attract new smaller clients, it’s also an alternative to existing clients. 

The new platform is built on the broader WPP Open OS.  

According to the company, Open Pro enables users to plan with AI-powered tools to develop campaign strategies and quickly evaluate audiences and competitive landscapes. 

Content can also be developed speedily at scale. And clients publish content directly to “major ad platforms,” or hand off to WPP Open Media for execution.  

"WPP Open Pro is an integrated solution for campaign implementation, built to deliver outcomes, not just assets,” said Stephan Pretorius, Chief Technology Officer at WPP.  

He said that makes it well suited for clients and brands seeking “consistency and compliance at scale,” as well as for performance marketing teams and, “crucially, provides smaller, agile marketing teams and emerging brands with direct access to WPP’s professional capabilities and intelligence.”
