Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe, said: “Over the past five years, we have made some big bets at Publicis, like the acceleration of the Power of One to deliver end-to-end creative solutions, the repositioning of Publicis Sapient, the acquisition of Epsilon and the construction of Marcel, that saved thousands of jobs during the covid crisis and is today central to our efforts to support, protect and relocate our teams in Ukraine. It has not always been easy, but nothing worth it ever is. I’d like to thank our people for their outstanding dedication in getting us here, and our clients for their unwavering support.”
