WPP offloads stake in Richard Attias & Associates

In 2013 WPP acquired 30% of the business, with the strategic consultants going on to aid the group’s expansion in Africa as well as assisting on public policy issues, events and conferences.

The deal tallies with the public relations firm’s goal of simplifying its business by renewing its focus on its core offering.
