Christophe Chantraine, MD of the South African business comments, “We’re excited to see that brands today are seeing value from our services, where creative excellence meets digital performance. We believe that a story is only as good as the distribution system that can deliver it to the right audiences, at exactly the right time and in the right place. This is our point of difference and ensures precision in distribution and cross-channel integration.”
Social.Lab is also currently leading the social commerce expertise inside WPP. Using social media in the context of commerce transactions, where social media enables a transactional relationship between customers and advertisers and is powered by the maturation of online shopping.
