Annette King to be appointed to the newly created role of CEO of Publicis Groupe
UK
September 27, 2017
Publicis Groupe [Euronext Paris: FR0000130577, CAC 40] announces today that
Annette King will be appointed CEO of the UK for Publicis Groupe. This news
comes in the context of Publicis Groupe's transformation which began eighteen
months ago and led to The Power of One - breaking down silos across expertise
and putting the Groupe's clients at the core in order to provide them with
solutions that best fit their needs. This approach is already starting to gather
momentum, with positive impact like the win of P&G's UK media business, where
the Groupe's experts from across media, creative, digital and tech worked
together seamlessly to win this important pitch.
The UK is the second market to implement a country leadership team after Agathe
Bousquet's nomination as CEO of Publicis Groupe France in April 2017. This marks
the start of a country leadership model for Publicis Groupe's activities in the
UK. Annette will report directly to Arthur Sadoun, Chairman & CEO of Publicis
Groupe and will join the Management Committee.
In her role as CEO of Publicis Groupe UK, Annette will oversee all of Publicis
Groupe's operations in the market, from Publicis Communications, to Publicis
Media, Publicis.Sapient and Publicis Health. She will be responsible for
ensuring that the Groupe brings to life its vision of being its clients'
indispensable partner in their transformation. To do this, Annette will work
closely with the UK leadership team to drive greater integration across Publicis
Groupe's capabilities, transform its relationship with existing clients, win
the trust of new ones and of course cultivate and attract the best talent across
its agencies and disciplines. In this endeavour, Annette can count on the help
of Steve King who agreed to act as Executive Sponsor and who as a member of the
Publicis Groupe Directoire and CEO of Publicis Media globally has been actively
involved in her recruitment process and helped kick-start the model in the UK.
Annette will come to Publicis Groupe from the Ogilvy Group (WPP) where she
worked for seventeen years, in eight different roles, ranging from client lead
on American Express across EMEA to Managing Director for Ogilvy Interactive and
from New Business Director for OgilvyOne to her latest role as CEO of Ogilvy
Group in the UK.
"Annette is one of the industry's most recognized leaders thank to her ability
to inspire her teams, create real bonds of trust with her clients and win the
respect of even her fiercest competitors. Her wealth of expertise and experience
make her the right person to leverage Publicis Groupe's unique assets in the UK
to drive transformative solutions at the service of our clients", said Arthur
Sadoun, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe.
Annette King commented, "I would like to thank Arthur Sadoun for giving me the
opportunity to discover a new role and to join in the Publicis adventure. I'm
looking forward to the exciting challenge of contributing to the transformation
of Publicis Groupe in the UK during a time of integration and reinvention. "
