“We’re building momentum as we shift toward serving both the client and agency communities,” said John Harris, CEO of WPI. “Clients are looking to handpick expertise by capability, geography or industry vertical to solve precise situations. And agencies are looking to complement their specialties and scale. We’re filling the essential gaps for both as we build the highest quality, diversified service platform to meet whatever needs clients encounter.”
