WPP & Open AI
WPP Open is our pioneering agentic marketing platform – a single, secure workspace where exceptional talent and curated AI agents work together to deliver growth for the world's leading brands. For your career, it means working with tools that are at the very frontier of what AI can do in marketing – tools that free you to do more meaningful, creative and strategic work, and that give you a competitive advantage you cannot find anywhere else.
Not necessarily – it depends on the role. For technology, data and AI-specific roles, relevant experience is important. For creative, strategy, media, production and other disciplines, an openness to learning and working with AI tools is more important than existing expertise. WPP invests heavily in AI training and development for all our people, and we believe AI makes the best work even better – rather than replacing the people who create it.
