PROFILE |
 |
Advertising is "la joie de vivre" for Publicis. The firm's purchase of rival Saatchi & Saatchi in 2000 made it one of the world's largest advertising firms operations in more than 80 countries, including its agency networks Publicis Worldwide and Publicis Conseil, as well as specialist units Publicis Dialog (direct marketing), Optimedia (media buying), and Publicis.Net (interactive services). In the US (almost 25% of billings), Publicis' network includes such agencies as Hal Riney, Fallon Worldwide, Frankel, Nelson Communications, and Saatchi & Saatchi. Clients include Nestle and Coca-Cola. Elisabeth Badinter, chair of the firm's supervisory board, has about 46% voting control of the company.
