Acceleration is WPP’s data and technology consultancy, operated globally by leading media company GroupM. We work closely with GroupM agencies and Google center of excellence to connect our clients' media investments to tangible business results, powering possibilities and performance through data and technology.
We were Google’s first implementation partner in 1999, and for over 20 years, we’ve remained a trusted Google partner. Our deep expertise in data and technology – including Google Advertising and Cloud technologies – helps you maximize your technology investment and media performance, while always staying at the forefront of innovation.
Marketing is entering a new age. Data-driven, technology-powered, always changing, always innovating. This is an age of opportunities for new growth and value creation, realized by forward-thinking marketing leaders. But it’s also an ongoing challenge to cope with the speed, volume and complexity of change.
We partner with you to adapt, experiment and foster a culture of always-on transformation in your organization – generating short-term results and long-term value. We believe in this future – and that this future is now.
We embrace an agile, creative and collaborative approach to experimentation and transformation. We see our clients as true partners – and we work hand in hand with you as an extension of your teams in an ongoing co-creation process. By elevating your existing skills and sharing new tools and capabilities, we help your organization grow and sustain a culture of innovation.
Our data and technology expertise, combined with GroupM’s scale – ranked as the #1 media agency group in the world, – gives you the strategic and operational support you need to fuel growth and overcome evolving business challenges.
We became Google’s first implementation partner, and for more than 20 years we’ve been trusted partners to Google, consulting with clients to unlock the value of their technology investment and maximizing their media performance.
