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 terminal: the desk’s memo on the day’s advertising stories, with the storylines beside it
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 accounts ledger: account appointments and reviews with the client, the account, the agency, the terms and the status
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: the advertising industry’s diary by month, with the verified mark and the type on every row
The calendar. 100 conference, market and festival editions with organiser links and review dates.
05 index.html · the desk memo
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
A deal opened in the ledger: both parties with their universe entries, how the claim was read and who asserted it, the quoted line, the outlets that carried it and its reports in order
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 dealmakers themselves: companies’ own releases about their transactions, with the company, the release and its date
From the companies themselves. The releases agencies, advertisers, media owners and technology companies publish on their own newsrooms, read beside the trade press.

How to read an agency account review

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).

Questions

If the answer you need is not here, email hello@axiom.vc and a person will reply.

What happens when the 14 days are up?

The subscription starts and the first payment is taken, at whichever plan you picked. We will email you at least 3 days before that happens. If you cancel during the trial you are not charged at all.

How do I cancel?

From your account, at any time, or by email to hello@axiom.vc. You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. We email you about 7 days before every renewal.

What happens to my access if I stop paying?

Subscription access ends at the end of your billing period. You can still sign in to your account.

Prices and VAT

Prices exclude VAT, which Stripe calculates and applies at checkout where it is due. They are fixed in GBP, EUR and USD; the page shows the currency for your region, and you can choose another. Enter your business tax number at checkout if applicable.

What are the sources?

Advertising and marketing trade press, company newsrooms and institutions such as standards bodies and regulators, linked beside every story. The source directory lists them.
