**Who We Are**:
At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.

Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.

In what has been called the "the biggest advertising pitch in history," WPP was chosen to redefine the marketing and advertising model as we've known it. In partnership with TCCC, we are building a new open approach that will connect our talent, skills and client partners in a truly borderless way aimed at multiplying the power of creativity for one of the world's largest and most beloved brands.

We call our partnership approach "OpenX" - it is the transformation-based marriage of WPP, the #1 global network and largest communications holding company in the world, with the iconic Fortune 100 company, Coca Cola, valued at 71 billion dollars, operating in more countries than the UN and comprised of a diverse portfolio of iconic brands such as Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Fanta, and Powerade among others.

Within Open X sits "Studio X". Studio X unites a suite of marketing capabilities into one fully integrated team of experts. Studio X uses data and technology to make our work more insightful, effective and efficient. Creativity is a proven engine of business growth, but creativity must keep pace with the new marketing landscape - which demands it is more intelligent, agile and adaptable. Studio X is our answer to this marketing challenge. Studio X is fueled by intelligent, actionable data-signals and real-time insights.

Our teams are populated by a blend of brand, content and social experts: strategists & analysts, creatives & designers, producers & distributors, all committed to making the most of every media moment. We specialise in matching the right content to the right audience at the right moment; supported by best-in-class automation tools to deploy tailored assets at scale. Everything we do is purpose-built for the new marketing landscape: it's addressable and flexible, designed to reach data-informed target audiences and to evolve based on their response.
