What this episode covers
WPP has asked a court to seal much of the amended complaint in Richard Foster's wrongful termination suit, per MediaPost, while Business Insider reports Foster will oppose any sealing. Storyboard18, citing Adweek, says at least 468 Omnicom staff working on the Omni platform were transferred to Endava, and Mumbrella argues deep rate discounting, not audience decline, is now the main pressure on Australian media owners. Also: CNA on generative-AI ad output straining quality control in Singapore, Clemenger BBDO closing its media department, and Netflix's upfront ad commitments nearly doubling again.
