WPP chief Sir Martin Sorrell said in Italy this week that agency groups must work harder to crack the key opportunity of owning and producing branded content by tapping the intellectual property talent houses of William Morris and alike.

That includes owning 24/7 Real Media and adding Yahoo! to its radar watch.
