Arthur Sadoun Named CEO of Publicis Worldwide
Posted in: Uncategorized
Succession planning is continuing at Publicis Groupe, where Arthur Sadoun — the young French ad exec who’s been running the ad holding company’s namesake shop in Europe — has been promoted to CEO of Publicis Worldwide.
It represents a big vote of confidence in a young star to see if he can ascend through the network globally. Publicis Worldwide is incredibly important to the DNA of the overall company, as it was the agency that was the foundation for the group, founded by Marcel Bleustein Blanchet in Paris in 1926. Today Publicis Worldwide is the largest global agency network for the holding company with nearly 9,000 employees in some 80 countries. In the United States, that includes New York-based Publicis Kaplan Thaler, Riney in San Francisco, and Modem offices in select cities.
Mr. Sadoun — who, along with his TV personality wife Anne-Sophie Lapix is a bit of a local celebrity in France — will report to the Groupe chairman-CEO Maurice Levy and will also join the executive committee of Publicis Groupe.
