Commerce is full of innovation, with the pace that the retailer landscape is evolving and the emergence of new routes to market, this is indeed an incredibly exciting time to be working in commerce. All brands have different challenges in this space depending on their distribution models, internal structure or consumer behaviours.

Our role in the Publicis Commerce practice is to help brands navigate this complexity and provide incredible consumer experiences that drive proven commercial growth.

There is significant focus within Publicis Groupe to develop a strong global commerce proposition which can be taken to both existing and new clients. We have strong commerce expertise with the business already plus new capabilities that we are developing, new technology that we are building and new acquisitions that we are making – all in service of strengthening our offering and building a market leading proposition.

Publicis Commerce serves as a wrapper to deliver the our strongest commerce talent, tech and partnerships in each market. We are focussed on building commerce products and solutions that drive clear business outcomes for our clients and can easily be scaled across the business.
