Publicis Groupe's Success Amidst Industry Challenges
According to Arthur Sadoun, CEO of Publicis Groupe, the company is "winning" despite the global agency sector facing challenges. Sadoun attributes this success to a strong new-business run and the increasing use of artificial intelligence.
In a Campaign interview following the release of Q3 results, which reported 5.7% organic growth, Sadoun discussed the current state of the industry. He noted that while some rivals are "struggling", clients still need marketing partners, and this demand is driving growth.
- 5.7% organic growth in Q3
- Annual growth forecast upgraded to between 5% and 5.5%
- Almost three-quarters of Publicis' revenues are "enabled" by artificial intelligence
Clients need marketing partners more than ever
Sadoun also mentioned the impact of Omnicom's impending acquisition of IPG on the new-business market, stating that it has "already" changed the landscape.
