What this episode covers
Fortune reports WPP is targeting 500 million pounds in savings by 2028 under Cindy Rose against roughly 400 million pounds in costs, splitting its top HR role between Lego's Mark Taylor and a new Marie-Claire Barker culture brief as further cuts fall on HR and finance, while Indian Television puts the reductions at several hundred roles, about one percent of headcount, by the end of 2026. Yahoo Tech details Project Fizzion, a Coca-Cola and Adobe system that converts brand guidelines into a machine-readable StyleID built into Creative Cloud apps to keep one identity consistent across more than 200 markets, which the company frames as designer-led rather than cost-cutting. Also moving: Adobe's Lara Balazs says product discovery is shifting from search to AI, Burger King rolls out a Whopper Guarantee, HubSpot launches Agent Hub and Agent Builder in public beta, and Behr elevates Andy Lopez to chief marketing officer.
