Publicis Groupe, known for its award-winning creativity, best-in-class technology, digital and consulting expertise, is the world’s third largest communications group. With 80,000+ colleagues 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.
