HELPING OUR CLIENTS UNLOCK GROWTH IN THE PLATFORM WORLD: 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 – Real Identity, Dynamic, Diverse and Disruptive Creativity, Smart Media and 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. We call this Power of One. Powered by a 100,000‑strong network via Marcel, our AI‑based platform, we also provide our clients and talents instant access to resources and knowledge for any need, any time, in any market.

THE SPIRIT OF VIVA LA DIFFERENCE

Viva La Difference is deeply rooted in everything we do. It has always been in our DNA. From the birth of Publicis, 94 years ago, when Marcel Bleustein‑Blanchet, our founder, invented French advertising, Viva La Difference expresses how we value and respect each individual and recognize what makes us distinctive. This is the charge that inspires our teams to celebrate the differences in identity, background, culture, and experience of all of us. It is how we behave with each other and our clients, and it is deeply rooted throughout our work, to elevate and bring to life our differences throughout the platform world.
