HELPING OUR CLIENTS UNLOCK GROWTH IN THE PLATFORM WORLD
“Publicis exists to help our clients unlock growth. Through the Power of One, we are seamlessly connected to partner with our clients so that they can Unlock Growth in the Platform World,” Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and CEO, Publicis Groupe.
Our clients compete in the platform world, a horizontal marketplace between creators and consumers, between speakers and listeners, between buyers and sellers. To thrive in the platform world, companies must continue to innovate their products and business models.
Four imperatives (1. Real Identity, 2. Dynamic, Diverse and Disruptive Creativity 3., Smart Media and 4. Direct Relationships) via our suite of world-class agencies, are necessary for modern brands to win in the platform world.
At Publicis Groupe, we’ve invested in capabilities across these four imperatives our clients need to unlock growth. As the only one who can architect, build and orchestrate end to end solutions, not only do we have a proven record of building bespoke models for clients and leading expertise across all major industry categories, we are able to offer our talents more opportunities to grow and benefit from a richer learning experience. We call this Power of One.
Never has our vision and drive for Power of One been as demonstrable as in the role of the Global Client lead.
