Happy New Year. In case you missed it - the good people at Popbitch have named an annual award after me, as highlighted in today’s 2025 compendium email

@dissectmarkets Hope you bet big!

@keithweed I didn’t know he had a book! I’m gonna order it Also, I’m gonna bet on Lando winning the driver’s championship

Thanks Legend Zak Brown for sending me a copy of your new book & a great idea for Christmas presents! 'Seven Tenths of a Second' gives his insights into MCLAREN'S REMARKABLE RISE TO THE TOP. Zak led the F1 team to the 2024 & 2025 Constructors' Championship #F1 #McLaren #unboxing

The joke is on me. In case you missed ‘Have I got news for you’ last night, the fruitful topic of nominative determinism made me a target too good to miss! #hignfy #nominativedeterminism @The_RHS

We had an excellent turnout at the Unstereotype Alliance panel at @Cannes_Lions Festival which I moderated with the amazing Christina Mallon Global Head of Inclusive Design Microsoft & Brisa Vincente Co-CEO, SOKO Droga5. A strong case for inclusion & Unstereotyping Advertising

"They’ll come to us to build enduring brands powered by AI – and WPP Open makes it possible." Our CEO Mark Read joins Keith Weed CBE on the WPP Beach to explore how AI is reshaping marketing and unlocking new paths to growth. #WPPCannes #CannesLions2025

At @Cannes_Lions Advertising Festival. With @Reddit celebrating 20 years, I asked Steve Huffman Reddit’s CEO & founder how Reddit’s business model has evolved, especially in terms of scaling advertising without compromising the user experience. Thanks Steve, great conversation

In case you missed the Times Newspaper today and the 'Birthdays Today' section #birthdays

This will be fun and hopefully helpful too. Some interesting insights to share! I would love to see you at this event. Tickets are selling fast but if they say the event has sold out, say I sent you… as I am sure I can squeeze you in. ;-) 27th Feb. #marketing #portfolio #plural

It was good having a CMO-CFO fireside chat with my friend & colleague ⁦@GraemePitkethly⁩ who was CFO of ⁦@Unilever⁩ ⁦⁦⁩ when I was CMO. Not sure the headline captures the chat but they often don’t! @campaignlive⁩ conference. #CMO campaignlive.co.uk/article/ex-uni…

With 6 out of 10 CEOs identifying the need for top talent and top talent having a preferential desire to work for a responsible business, I think BITC can help here…

I hope you enjoy reading this & find a couple of new ideas to bounce off! Thank you ⁦@SusanBoster⁩ for sharing this. The best thing about advice is, it’s free & you can ignore it! But at least it’s worth reflecting on first. Happy ignoring! #Boards linkedin.com/posts/susan-bo…

Arriving in Barcelona for the Grand Prix with McLaren, Lando, Bianca and Zak.. @LandoNorris @McLarenF1 #grandprix #formula1

Great to see Zak and Lando being such super ambassadors for McLaren and the sport at the Cannes Lions. @LandoNorris @ZBrownCEO @McLarenF1 @Cannes_Lions

@linden_groves @popbitch @The_RHS Excellent!👍

@keithweed @popbitch @The_RHS From personal experience, the only way to handle nominative determinism is to go all in. I'm from a line of Spruce, Forester and Jardines, and once I married a Groves it seemed obvious my daughter had to be Tilia (in joke for garden types)

I received this message from friends as apparently it was trending on @popbitch. Yes it's true my father's surname was WEED & my mother's maiden name was HEDGES. So how could not their son become anything other than the President of the Royal Horticultural Society? @the_rhs #name

Have have a look at the BBC tonight.. #RHSChelseaFlowerShow #ChelseaFlowerShow @The_RHS

Looking forward to our new Royal Patron HM King Charles III visiting the RHS Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow. #ChelseaFlowerShow #RHSChelseaFlowerShow. housebeautiful.com/uk/garden/g400…

As President of the RHS, I am delighted that His Majesty King Charles III will be our next Patron of the RHS. As a gardener, advocate for the planet and champion for environmental issues, we at the RHS are thrilled and honoured that His Majesty The King is our Royal Patron#garden
