Martin Sorrell, the head of the world’s largest marketing communications company WPP, sounded a note of optimism this week when he said this week that the group was beginning to see signs of growth in many of its main markets.

Speaking at the International Advertising Association conference in Moscow, he said the group was experiencing “a significant change in April.” And that it was “starting to see for the first time growth in the business on a worldwide basis”.
