WPP is opening a large campus that will bring together various properties in one location, giving clients easier access to its talent and capabilities and becoming the latest agency holding company to do so.

The over 200,000-square-foot Amsterdam campus, known as “Amsteldok,” will house all 1,500 WPP employees in the city from 15 agencies who previously operated from 11 different locations.
