Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and executive chairman of S4 Capital, led a team of around 40 individuals to CES in Las Vegas last week. The parent company of integrated agency Media.Monks, which has recently undergone a rebranding, sought valuable face-to-face meetings with clients and partners at the tech conference.
According to Sorrell, half of S4 Capital's revenue is generated by tech clients, including Meta, Logitech, Amazon, and Epic Games. He believes these clients are attracted to the company due to its distinct business model.
In an interview with Adweek during the closing days of CES, Sorrell exhibited optimism about his business despite global economic uncertainties. Media.Monks co-founder Wesley ter Haar joined him for the discussion.
S4 Capital, under Sorrell's leadership, has adopted a digital transformation strategy, focusing on end-to-end marketing solutions through its unified brand, Monks. This includes leveraging the strengths of previous acquisitions, such as MediaMonks for digital content production and MightyHive for digital and data solutions.

The company also emphasizes cross-vertical collaboration and end-to-end solutions, ensuring holistic support from ideation to execution for clients.
