The Wire and its research
Not a feed of headlines. Surfaces built on the same sourced record: the Wire
with the Desk, the accounts ledger, the company universe and the calendar.
01 index.html · the terminal
The Wire. Every story from 213 trade, company and institutional sources, placed on one of 13 desks and linked to its publisher.
02 deals.html · the ledger
The ledger. Agency appointments, acquisitions and commercial events, with the reported stage and the basis of every amount.
03 organizations.html · the universe
The universe. 169 reviewed organisations, each with its evidence and its limits.
04 calendar.html · the calendar
The calendar. 100 conference, market and festival editions with organiser links and review dates.
05 index.html · the desk memo
The desk memo. One paragraph on what the day’s stories mean together, labelled by stage and scope.

Where a figure came from
Open an entry for its parties, its reported stage and the source it was read
from. Company announcements are attributed as announcements; billings are not fees, and enterprise
value is not equity value.
06 deals.html · one deal, opened
One entry, opened. Its parties with their universe entries, the reported stage, the basis of any amount and the source it was read from.
07 deals.html · from the dealmakers themselves
From the companies themselves. The releases agencies, advertisers, media owners and technology companies publish on their own newsrooms, read beside the trade press.
An advertiser opening a review is inviting competition. A shortlist tells you which agencies are still in contention. An appointment tells you who won and what work the advertiser awarded. Look for a dated announcement and the remit before attributing the business to an agency.
Take Coca-Cola’s 2021 global marketing review. WPP recorded its appointment as Global Marketing Network Partner and described the remit as nearly all worldwide media and a large share of creative work. Calling that an award of every Coca-Cola account would overstate what WPP reported. Read WPP’s 2021 annual report (PDF).
The Wire is the news. The paid research is the record behind it — account moves and
transactions with their stage and amount basis, and the organisations involved.
