Publicis Groupe

Future-focused since 1926

Publicis Groupe has never taken its eyes off the future. In 1926, Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet created what was essentially a startup, and named it Publicis after the French word for advertising and “6” - his favorite number. Marcel’s passion for communication, for creating relationships between advertisers and consumers, transformed this new field into a thriving, respected profession - and his values: attention to others, respect, staying true to the product, customer satisfaction, quality and creativity continue to drive Publicis Groupe today.

The pioneering spirit, unwavering convictions and ethical values of its founder – his legendary fighting spirit and rare, unique personality – have forged an exceptional Groupe. Publicis Groupe is built on a succession of innovations and transformations that have solidified the culture and expertise that continue to run deep throughout our Groupe.
