The creation of a new cluster of markets in Eastern Europe is a continuation of Publicis Groupe's efforts to strengthen cooperation between markets and teams, in order to even better integrate knowledge, competences and talent around Clients' business needs.
Publicis consolidation of Eastern Europe: a new cluster of markets
Media operations currently form a key part of Publicis Groupe's business in Eastern Europe, and therefore the integration process will be managed by Piotr Piętka, co-CEO of Publicis Groupe Poland, working closely with the leaders of the Ukrainian and Baltic markets. He will be supported in this process by Tomasz Pawlikowski, co-CEO of Publicis Groupe Poland, which will additionally harness the enormous potential of talent in the eastern markets and allow for further scaling of the global Centers of Excellence operations in Commerce and Production that operate successfully in Poland.
– In Ukraine we strongly believe in the potential of the Power of One model. Its implementation has allowed us to provide our Clients with the best integrated offering on the market, covering key areas of business. Closer cooperation with our partners from Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will further raise the level of our product, create new opportunities for teams and contribute to the business growth of Publicis Groupe Clients in every market in the region – said Enver Kikava, CEO of Publicis Groupe Ukraine.
