Over the years, we have evolved our definition of ROI, as it has changed with the ever- complicated communications landscape. ROI is longer simply about the most efficient planning, buying and reporting of media.

It means we deliver more creative media solutions that bring together best-in-class strategy, planning and the power of Publicis Groupe to ensure distinct and more personal brand experiences for our clients.

It means we adopt new data analytics and value optimisation techniques while building relationships with some of the world’s most exciting start-ups.
