Sorrell attempts to revive struggling ad firm with merger talks
Sir Martin Sorrell is vying to revive his struggling advertising agency by exploring a potential takeover of a rival group. S4 Capital, which was founded by Sir Martin in 2018, confirmed it has received an approach from MSQ Partners about a possible merger. The company said any deal would be structured as an acquisition of MSQ Partners by S4 Capital, but warned discussions were at a 'very preliminary stage' and there was no certainty an agreement would be reached. Shares in S4 Capital jumped as much as 10pc on announcement of the talks. MSQ Partners, which is majority-owned by US private equity firm One Equity Partners, was contacted for comment. The discussions will raise questions over the future of Sir Martin, who founded S4 Capital following his acrimonious departure from WPP. He grew the company rapidly in its first few years through a slew of acquisitions. But the ad firm, which counts Amazon and Google among its clients, has been hit by a slowdown in advertising spend and accounting blunders that forced it to delay its financial results twice. S4 has also issued a string of profit warnings in recent years after falling short on optimistic revenue forecasts. Shares have collapsed more than 90pc in the last five years with the company's market value now below £140m, down from a peak of around £5bn in 2021. The ad firm has rolled out heavy cost-cutting measures, slashing hundreds of roles and cutting discretionary spending, but still posted a loss of £307m last year after taking a £280m write-down owing to tough trading conditions. London-based MSQ Partners, which was founded in 2011, employs more than 1,850 people worldwide and counts Diageo, Unilever and Vodafone among its clients. It is not the first time S4 Partners has been linked to a potential merger. The ad firm last year received a takeover offer from US marketing group Stagwell but Sir Martin rebuffed the offer, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. It comes amid an accelerating trend of consolidation across the advertising industry as traditional agencies grapple with the dominance of tech giants and the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Omnicom and Interpublic are gearing up for a merger that will create the world's largest advertising company, worth $30bn (£22bn). WPP, which was overtaken by French rival Publicis last year, has also been linked to a potential tie-up with Accenture. WPP, which has appointed former Microsoft executive Cindy Rose to replace Mark Read as its chief executive from next month, has itself wielded the axe on 7,000 jobs over the last year in an effort to slim down its business and cut costs.

Social Security cost-of-living adjustment may be 2.7% in 2026, new estimates find
Social Security beneficiaries may see a 2.7% cost-of-living adjustment in 2026, according to new estimates from policy experts, based on the latest government inflation data. That projected increase would be higher than the 2.5% adjustment beneficiaries saw in 2025. Social Security implements a cost-of-living adjustment every year to adjust benefits for inflation. The Social Security Administration typically announces the official change for the upcoming year in October. New estimates from both Mary Johnson, an independent Social Security and Medicare policy analyst, and the Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan senior group, point to a 2.7% COLA for 2026, based on new July inflation data. Last month, Johnson had estimated a 2.7% Social Security COLA for 2026, while the Senior Citizens League had projected 2.6%. Social Security cost-of-living adjustments have averaged 2.6% over the past 20 years, according to the Senior Citizens League. To be sure, there are still two months of inflation data that will be factored into the official COLA calculation for next year. The official Social Security cost-of-living is based on three months' of government inflation data for July, August and September, which is averaged and compared to the same three months for the previous year. The percentage difference from one year to the next determines the COLA. The COLA is calculated based on a subset of the consumer price index, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W. The consumer price index was up 2.7% over the past 12 months, according to new July data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. The CPI-W was up 2.5% over the last 12 months as of July. Tariffs had just a modest effect on the latest consumer price index data, though the impact of the new policies did show up in several areas including household furnishings and supplies. If tariffs do affect inflation in the coming two months, that may impact the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for 2026.
