Sadoun 'unboxes' Marcel, promising 'Publicis in the palm of your hand'


Attention: Publicis Groupe is no longer a holding company. As of today, it’s a “platform.”

That was one of the pronouncements in Paris Thursday morning from Chairman and CEO Arthur Sadoun at the launch of Publicis Groupe’s much-anticipated AI tool Marcel, unveiled in an “unboxing” to 450 senior Publicis employees, 100 clients and various media assembled in the bowels of an upscale hotel just off the Champs-Elysees.

KIA: The Commercial Brake

A commercial that acts as a brake. This is the best way to describe the new campaign by mortierbrigade on behalf of Kia. You see, the Kia Niro has an autonomous emergency brake assist system and will therefore always stop on time in case of emergencies. To demonstrate this innovative technology, mortierbrigade has come up with the idea of creating a commercial that helps you do just that on your TV: stop in time. The campaign is based on the over-forwarding phenomenon that occurs during binge watching, and offers a clever solution to it. This television commercial is at the end of a commercial break and warns you that it’s about to finish and your show is about to resume. With this campaign, mortierbrigade proves that advertising agencies can use creative solutions to sidestep the obstacles that they’re faced with.
