Company description

Publicis Groupe, known for its world-renowned creativity, best-in-class technology, digital and consulting expertise, is the world’s third largest communications group. With more than 80,000 people in over 100 countries, the Groupe has four solution hubs : Creative with Publicis Communications, Media with Publicis Media, Digital business transformation with Publicis Sapient, and Health & Wellbeing with Publicis Health.

Since 2014 and the acquisition of Sapient, Publicis Groupe has undergone a profound transformation by scaling a new model connecting data, creativity and technology. We have continued on that journey with the 2019 acquisition of Epsilon to further scale our data-led offering and provide true momentum to our clients’ own transformation. This model, with a country-led approach, is called the “Power of One” and gathers all the capabilities of the Groupe under one roof, putting clients at the core of the organisation.

It breaks down the silos between Publicis Communications, Publicis Media, Publicis Sapient, and Publicis Health, making them work seamlessly and efficiently to help clients transform marketing and business at scale.

The Publicis Groupe is a brand-led organisation powered by data-driven global practices and has our clients at the absolute core of our business. The role of an RCL is essential for driving growth, for understanding and leading our clients’ own transformation through delivering the true scale our agencies capabilities. An RCL sets the vision, builds a culture of collaboration and curates a team of experts from our whole Groupe to deliver on that promise.

The RCL is a true leader with responsibility for revenue, profitability and the relationship with our clients. We are committed to delivering excellence and we articulate our approach as follows : Clients Come First; Seamless; Frictionless; Modular; and United. By fusing together our creative, intelligence, and technology expertise, we provide transformative ideas and consumer experiences unlike any other agency or holding company in the marketplace.
