Forward-Looking Statements
In connection with the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Reform Act), the Company may include forward-looking statements (as defined in the Reform Act) in oral or written public statements issued by or on behalf of the Company. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, plans, objectives, projections and anticipated future economic performance based on assumptions and the like that are subject to risks and uncertainties. As such, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ include but are not limited to: the unanticipated loss of a material client or key personnel, delays or reductions in client advertising budgets, shifts in industry rates of compensation, regulatory compliance costs or litigation, natural disasters or acts of terrorism, the Companys exposure to changes in the values of major currencies other than the UK pound sterling (because a substantial portion of its revenues are derived and costs incurred outside of the United Kingdom) and the overall level of economic activity in the Companys major markets (which varies depending on, among other things, regional, national and international political and economic conditions and government regulations in the worlds advertising markets). In light of these and other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in the oral or written public statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Companys plans and objectives will be achieved. In addition, you should consider the risks described in Item 3D, captioned Risk Factors in the Companys Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2014, which could also cause actual results to differ from forward-looking information. In light of these and other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in this document should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Companys plans and objectives will be achieved.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

WPP acquires majority stake in SET Creative in the US to enhance the Groups
Branding & Identity offer
WPP announces that it has acquired a majority stake in SET Management, LLC (SET Creative), growing its Branding & Identity group. US-based SET engages consumers with brands through physical experiences in retail stores, pop-up stores, trade shows and live events. SET Creative continues that engagement digitally via apps, content creation and social media.
SET Creatives revenues for the year ended 31 December 2014 were approximately US$38 million with gross assets of approximately US$18 million at the same date. Clients include Arcteryx, BMW, Google Glass, Jordan, Nike, Red Bull and Uniqlo. Founded in 2009, SET Creative is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with offices in New York and Los Angeles. The agency recently acquired a UK operation, called Flourish, to be renamed SET Live, concentrating on live events, exhibitions and environments. In total, SET Creative employs around 120 people.
SETs management, led by founder Sabina Teshler, will remain in place, reporting in to Simon Bolton, co-leader of WPPs branding & identity division (B to D group), who will oversee SET as part of a newly-formed collective focusing on all elements of brand experience.
Bolton commented: SET creates world class physical and digital brand experiences, making it an ideal partner to Brand Union and FITCH. The three agencies provide a complementary set of services, from brand strategy, to retail, design and events, collectively creating a roadmap for agile omni-channel brands.
SET Creative will become part of WPPs B to D Group. Other companies in the B to D Group are Addison Group, Brand Union, FITCH, Lambie-Nairn, Landor, Peclers-Paris, The Partners and VBAT. The B to D Group is part of WPPs Branding & Identity, Healthcare and Specialist Communications division (which includes Direct and Digital). Collectively (including associates) the companies in the Branding, Identity, Healthcare and Specialist Communications division generate revenues of over US$6 billion and employ more than 69,000 people.
This investment continues WPPs strategy of investing in fast-growing and important markets such as the US. In North America, WPP companies (including associates) collectively generate revenues of almost US$7 billion and employ around 27,000 people.
