ORGANIZATION

The Groupe places its clients at the heart of its activities. Each of its major clients is assigned a Groupe Client Leader (GCL - a Groupe-wide global client manager), and has a separate income statement to help relations with different players within Publicis Groupe flow more easily. This innovative organization enables the teams’ work and use of the Groupe’s know-how to be adapted to meet a client’s specific requirements, with the aim of providing it with great ideas that will revolutionize its brands and its business.

Publicis Groupe offers its clients the full range of expertise based on the four key components of its offer: creative activities with its major iconic networks (Publicis Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, BBH or Marcel, to name but a few), strategic communication and influence (MSL, Kekst, Salterbaxter), production with Prodigious, data with Epsilon, media activities with the major strategy and media-buying networks (Starcom, Zenith, Digitas, Spark Foundry), performance (Performics), sales, digital marketing (Razorfish), and the digital business transformation with Publicis Sapient; and Publicis Health dedicated to the specificities of the healthcare sector (Digitas Health, Publicis Health, Saatchi & Saatchi Health). The Groupe brings together its wide range of expertise under a simplified country approach to create a “seamless” offer that addresses all of its clients’ expectations.

Publicis thus defined ten key markets: US, UK, France, DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), Asia Pacific & Africa - Middle East, Canada, Northern and Central Europe, Southern Europe, Latin America excluding Brazil, and Brazil. These ten countries or regions are run or supervised by a single person, and steered day-to-day by a unified Executive Committee which oversees a single income statement; they have shared support functions, and are able to offer our clients cross-cutting solutions that meet their needs.
