JWT Worldwide (US)

JWT is the updated version of J Walter Thompson, one of the most famous names in advertising history. It was arguably the world's first advertising agency, although it now prefers the term global brand communications. Owned since 1987 by WPP, the company took steps to brighten up its image in 2005, dropping the old name in favour of its well used abbreviation JWT and a new logo. Under any name, the agency has an enormous geographical spread, with some 200 offices in 90 countries. Subsidiary businesses include marketing services network RMG:Connect and recruitment marketing agency JWT Specialized Communications. Advertising Age estimated worldwide revenues of $1.2bn in 2008, making JWT the #6 international agency network worldwide.
