Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Passport's 2025 VML profile highlights ongoing visibility inside WPP's network.
  • Passport serves global companies with campaign, strategy, and activation work, broadening revenue streams.
  • The 2022 WPP acquisition expands cross-selling opportunities across Coca-Cola, Kraft, and Heineken relationships.

What critics are saying

  • WPP integration can commoditize Passport, stripping founder-led independence and niche positioning.
  • VML network pressure can reallocate work away from Newport Beach within twelve months.
  • If WPP prioritizes larger agencies, Passport becomes an expendable boutique and loses identity.

What makes Passport Brand Design unique

  • Founded in 2004, Passport built global brand design expertise across Australia, Asia, and North America.
  • Passport retained core clients since inception, signaling durable client trust and execution consistency.
  • WPP folded Passport into VML, giving it enterprise-scale distribution and West Coast reach.
