Ziebinski added: “The new sub-regional leaders have been appointed on the back of their stellar performance over the past years where they have not only delivered strong business results but also demonstrated an acute understanding of the Publicis One model. I have confidence in this team to lead Publicis One to scale greater heights.”

Speaking about the sub-regional structure, Ziebinski said, “From the inception of Publicis One, we wanted to optimize our business in CEE by creating clusters of markets where we connect resources and talent across multiple countries – all with the aim to better use our assets and deliver greater value for our clients. In a fragmented region as CEE, this model allows us to sustain a high-level of expertise despite the challenges of smaller markets where scale can be an issue. As we embark on the next phase of our transformation for Publicis One, the appointment of the sub-regional leaders will allow us to get deeper in the process of building our business model and ultimately create a future-proof international creative enterprise.”
