What happens when leadership loses its way — and work loses its soul, let alone its staff? In S2 Ep37 the impressive Rishad Tobaccowala, futurist, author, and former Chief Strategy / Growth Officer (now Senior Advisor) of Publicis Groupe joins me on Insider Interviews to offer a refreshingly human take on the future of work. And yes, we have a musical interlude.... The author of “Restoring the Soul of Business” and his latest, "Rethinking Work," explains what it really takes to stay relevant in marketing -- and business in general. As Rishad says, “Change Sucks. But irrelevance is worse!” First, I found out that we are both quadruple espresso fans, so if you wonder where Rishad gets his energy.... THEN I discovered we both had a thing about MATH that changed our respective trajectories*. But, after comparing our coffee rituals we go full steam into how companies need to evolve old leadership styles —from “bossing” to inspiring. Rishad shares why corporate models are in urgent need of a reset, and how flexibility, curiosity, and a human-centered approach must replace outdated hierarchies. Think “fractional workers” and project-based teams meets AI. Rishad urges organizations to stop clinging to legacy systems and start designing for the future. But, as this is primarily a show about media, marketing and advertising, (he is, after all, being inducted in the Advertising Hall of Fame) he also explores how storytelling goes hand in hand with tech and remains a marketing essential — not despite the data age, but because of it. Discover the "5 Cs" of embracing the future in Marketing. Interestingly, as former Chairman of Razorfish, his imprint may have been made on Anthony Yell, who - per Epi 30 - clearly agrees in Collaboration and merging Creativity with tech and storytelling! Of course, we talk brand purpose -- and that theme actually runs through it all, with Rishad explaining how generosity is not just as a personal value, but a business advantage. He shares how this belief drives the Tobaccowala Foundation's work in improving access to education and healthcare in India — and why doing good can, and should, be good business. This episode is a frank but, yes, inspiring look at how to rethink work, reimagine leadership, and build companies that serve people — not just profit. *(FYI: Hear how math impacted the journey of Cadillac CMO Melissa Grady, too!)

Le géant français de la publicité, Publicis Groupe, vient de lever le voile sur l'ampleur vertigineuse de son système de surveillance numérique. Son PDG, Arthur Sadoun, a présenté avec fierté CoreAI, une plateforme capable de collecter, analyser et exploiter des milliards de données en temps réel.CoreAI, qualifié de « suite d'applications et d'agents d'intelligence artificielle », ne se contente pas de tracer les habitudes des consommateurs. Il les anticipe. Sadoun l'explique avec un exemple : celui de Lola, un profil fictif. Grâce à ses outils, Publicis sait qu'elle a deux enfants, qu'ils consomment des jus de fruits premium, que leur prix augmente et que son salaire ne suit pas l'inflation. Résultat ? Des publicités ciblées pour l'inciter à choisir une marque moins chère, au bon moment, sur tous ses écrans. Et Lola, c'est chacun d'entre nous. 91 % des adultes dans le monde figurent dans la base de données de Publicis, alimentée par notre navigation sur internet, nos applications mobiles, nos cartes de fidélité….12 milliards de dollars. C'est ce que le groupe a investi sur 10 ans pour bâtir « l'écosystème marketing le plus puissant au monde ». Un empire consolidé en 2019 avec l'acquisition d'Epsilon (2,3 milliards de profils) et en 2025 avec le rachat de Lotame, une plateforme de gestion des identités numériques ajoutant 1,6 milliard d'identifiants supplémentaires. Mais ce n'est pas juste une question de quantité, c'est la précision des données qui interroge. 7 000 attributs individuels par personne aux États-Unis, 75 % des achats scrutés, et une mise à jour toutes les cinq minutes grâce à un trillion d'interactions traitées quotidiennement par l'intelligence artificielle. Et la protection des données personnelles ? Une illusion. Malgré les réglementations, l'industrie du courtage de données échappe largement au contrôle. Les régulateurs peinent à suivre, et les amendes infligées ne sont que des pichenettes pour ces mastodontes. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to episode #974 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Rishad Tobaccowala is one of those rare thinkers who can seamlessly connect the dots between business, technology, media, and human behavior - so it's always a pleasure to have him back on the show. A true industry veteran, Rishad has spent decades shaping the marketing and media landscape, from his time as Global Chief Strategist and Growth Officer at Publicis Groupe to becoming a sought-after author, advisor, and speaker. His latest book, Rethinking Work - Seismic Changes In The Where, When, And Why, dives deep into the fundamental shifts happening in the workforce, from the decline of the 9-to-5 model to the rise of hybrid work, decentralized careers, and leadership that prioritizes talent over corporate loyalty. Rishad's first book is Restoring The Soul Of Business and his newsletter, The Future Does Not Fit In The Containers Of The Past, and podcast, What Next?, are not to be missed. In our conversation, we explore the evolving role of leadership, the impact of AI on employment, and how brands must rethink trust in an era where consumers are more aligned with individuals than institutions. Rishad also shares his insights on how businesses can remain relevant by embracing change rather than resisting it, and why the future of work will require companies to shift from management-driven structures to ones that emphasize agility, learning, and human connection. Thoughtful, provocative, and always ahead of the curve, Rishad brings the kind of clarity we need as we navigate a world of constant disruption.

Jack Klues, former director at Publicis Groupe, on the current talent crisis in the advertising industry. The architect of what is now Publicis Media built his career at Leo Burnett Media and says that long-term employee growth over constant job churn is about companies investing in their people. The role of leaders, he says, is to foster a supportive environment in the age of AI, shifting from boss behaviour to collaborative leadership. And short-term pitch cycles and the commoditization of talent, he argues, degrade trust, respect, and integrity in client-agency relationships.#Business #Leadership #AI

Sustainability is a hot topic. The UN Sustainability Goals set a global agenda for 2015 to 2030. Now almost two thirds of the way into that agenda, progress has been slow, but steady. Some point to the global pandemic, other to the subsequent economic slow-down. But where are we today? What are companies and corporations doing? And what could they be doing?

After dominating news headlines throughout December, and likely well into 2025, it is all still possible for the Omnicom-IPG merger to fall through, repeating history from 2013 when Omnicom failed to merge with Publicis Groupe.Campaign's editor-in-chief Gideon Spanier sat down in a global exclusive interview with John Wren, CEO of Omnicom, and Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of IPG, after they announced the all-stock deal on 9 December to create the world's biggest agency group. Since then, the share price of Omnicom declined 15%.In this episode, Spanier is joined by editor Maisie McCabe and media editor Beau Jackson to ask the $31bn question: will the merger really happen?Hosted by tech editor Lucy Shelley, the team discuss the regulatory obstacles the holdcos need to hurdle, a shrink in share prices, and the potential for divergent performance of Omnicom and IPG in 2025. Is the merger an attempt to "fight scale with scale", says Spanier, to compete with the power of tech companies. The team asks where it leaves R/GA and Huge after being held for sale last year and any signs that adland might see a repeat of the attempted Publicis merger.Further reading:The $31bn Omnicom-IPG deal has industrial logic but also many caveatsOmnicom-IPG merger: how the holdcos stack up in the UKInterpublic sells digital experiences agency Huge'The industry doesn't need another behemoth': Stagwell CEO on Omnicom-IPGPublicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun says Omnicom-IPG deal is 'real opportunity'Omnicom and IPG 'huddling together as cold winds blow': Martin SorrellEverything we know so far about the Omnicom-IPG mega mergerComing up in the Campaign calendar:Media Week Live, 29 January Hosted on Acast.

Walmart, Target, Aldi and other grocers competed for a place on holiday tables with turkey dinner deals and other promotions to tempt Americans who haven't recovered from recent food price inflation. Walmart, the nation's largest food retailer, bundled the makings of a traditional turkey feast into a meal deal three years ago. This year, the 29-item offer, which included a frozen turkey and ingredients for side dishes, cost less than $55 (the exact total depends on the region) and was intended to serve eight. That calculates to less than $7 per person. Last year's two bundles had different items, but Walmart said the total price of this year's selected products was 3.5% lower than it was a year ago. “Some of the holiday's most special moments take place around the dinner table,” John Laney, executive vice president of food at Walmart U.S., said in a recent statement. “We are committed to offering customers even deeper savings.” Target's version for four people cost $20, $5 less than the company's 2023 Thanksgiving meal, and included a frozen turkey, stuffing mix and canned green beans and canned jellied cranberry sauce. Aldi offers a frozen Butterball turkey with gravy mix as well as pumpkin ingredients for pumpkin pie and ingredients for side dishes like sweet potato casserole. The German-owned supermarket chain priced it at $47 and said that was less than what it charged for the same items in 2019. Comparing the respective menus to determine which represented the best value is difficult since recommended serving sizes and contents vary. But the promotions, introduced earlier than ever and at a time when many households remained put off by higher prices, underscored the importance of Thanksgiving to grocers, analysts said. While consumer perceptions of grocery prices are based on the cost of staples like eggs and milk, “the Thanksgiving meal has become essentially a new benchmark,” Jason Goldberg, chief commerce strategy officer at Publicis Groupe, a global marketing and communications company. It's the occasion for the second-largest holiday meal for retailers behind the feasts that accompany the winter holidays. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Publicis Groupe's chief executive Arthur Sadoun breaks his six-year silence from public speaking in the UK at Campaign's inaugural Campaign Live event.Opening the conference opposite Campaign's UK editor-in-chief Gideon Spanier, Sadoun is questioned on how to sell creativity and what has made Publicis Groupe "extract itself from the agency pack".In this episode, Spanier and tech editor Lucy Shelley have a brief chat about the interview before heading into the session from the event. The discussion begins with Sadoun making a joke as he sits down in stage about buying Stagwell, who are projected behind him as a sponsor of the event. "I'm not going to buy them," he said.The question from the audience came from financial analyst and Campaign columnist Ian Whittaker, who asked about the value of creative and how if clients are prepared to pay for it, that could add to the agencies' share price value.Further reading:Arthur Sadoun: 'I have never won a pitch without a creative idea'Arthur Sadoun on defying doubters, Q2 revenue upgrade, ‘very high' staff bonus pool and Paris OlympicsPublicis' mocking ‘taking the BS out of AI' film goes down badly with agency rivalsM&A rumour mill is buzzing as Publicis pulls ahead of agency packMore from Campaign Live:Adam & Eve/DDB's Richard Brim says industry's creative ‘low point' is an opportunityAds 'must accurately represent target audience' say Campaign Live panellistsBlack creatives recount 'unapologetic' pushes for industry changeMonzo's AJ Coyne: ‘Creativity is the way to differentiate yourself'NatWest chief design officer: AI makes brands ‘more creative'Ex-Unilever CFO says it's now harder to justify marketing and media spend to investors‘It all comes down to trust': KFC and Mother on how to create a cult Hosted on Acast.

Once upon a time there were advertising agencies that offered clients a full range of services, being media and creative. Where the two were considered, developed, recommended and delivered together. Then, in the last millennium, media was split off, and media and creative were often handled by separate and sometimes competing companies. Channel strategies, creative strategies, and connection strategies were developed by various teams, both in-house and outsourced. But increasingly these are being put back together with what is again called “full service” but is more likely an integrated offering similar to the one Publicis Groupe developed for their client Arnott's with The Neighbour, which we have discussed here previously. But in this episode, we are going under the hood of the integrated offering to discuss how an integrated agency offering works with Publicis Groupe ANZ's Chief Media Officer, Imogen Hewitt, Chief Creative Officer, Dave Bowman, and Chief Data Officer, Maurice Riley.

Over the years, BRAVE COMMERCE hosts Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter have made it a point to focus on the experiences and stories of their guests, and not themselves. As a result, they have never used this platform to highlight the work they do in their day-to-day roles: Rachel as the Founder and CEO of MikMak and Sarah as the President of Profitero. This episode, recorded on stage at the recent BRAVE COMMERCE Live event in NYC, features the professional wisdom these two industry leaders bring to their work every day. Rachel launched MikMak with the strong belief that the boom in D2C did not signal the end of retail, but instead the need for enterprise brands to connect more directly with their consumers. As many challenger brands have moved into stores, their legacy competitors feel an even greater need to show up where their customers are spending time, and convert them effectively. MikMak creates shoppable experiences that put brands in the driver's seat with consumers. In turn, MikMak provides the data needed for these brands to make smarter marketing decisions. Additionally, this data strengthens brands positioning with the 7,000+ retailers in MikMak's network. After a year that included two major acquisitions and several new partnerships, MikMak is better positioned than ever to empower the world's brands to grow commerce-first, and to succeed in the emerging era of intelligent commerce. Sarah's company, Profitero, is the leading global commerce acceleration company offering a flexible suite of intelligence-driven solutions so that brands can grow profitably. Their integrated digital shelf analytics, shelf-intelligent activation and advisory services empower brands to optimize product availability, discoverability, and maximize conversions across 1,200+ retailers in 70 countries. With Sarah at the helm, Profitero has been recognized as the #1 Digital Shelf Provider by DCG, deemed a customer favorite on G2, and identified as an integral part of Publicis Groupe's recognition as a commerce leader in the Forrester Wave™. After [finally] introducing their companies, Rachel and Sarah shift the discussion to the trends they are seeing in commerce and in the market including: ● The consumer is more digitally connected than ever before – 8 in 10 consumers say retail purchases are influenced by digital touchpoints (Profitero)● 66% of traffic (as measured by MikMak) comes from Social, and the majority of that is from Meta● Amazon is losing against Walmart when it comes to grocery, 50% decline in Amazon grocery traffic in the past 90 days (MikMak)● There is a clear trend of shrinking basket size (MikMak), but profitability remains a priority with brands reporting a 116% increase in a dedicated focus on pricing and promotions (Profitero) The market is different. To succeed in the era of intelligent commerce requires brands to beat the market where it is today. You've got the information and collaborative partnerships will help you understand what to do with it. Stay tuned for future episodes from BRAVE COMMERCE Live featuring the superstars of commerce.

Edited highlights of our full length conversation. Are you leading, following or getting out of the way? This episode is the first in a series of conversations that I'm having in partnership with the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. For the next five weeks leading up to Cannes, we're going to focus our study of leadership through a single lens. The impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Creative Industries. Are we moving fast enough? Are we going far enough? Is this an opportunity to fundamentally redesign the creative industries, or should we adjust and iterate, slowly and carefully? Do we follow the puck, or skate to where it's going? There are opportunities and risks around every corner. We start with a conversation with Nick Law, who is Creative Chairperson at Accenture Song. Nick has seen the creative industries from an array of extraordinary perspectives. He was Vice Chairman, Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA, he served as Chief Creative Officer at Publicis Groupe, and was Vice President of Marcom Integration at Apple, where he co-led the global design and marketing group. On his Cannes speaker profile, Nick says that he believes all technology needs creativity to make it human, and all creativity needs technology to make it real. At the end of the series, I'll offer some thoughts on what we've heard and learned, and where we might go from here. It promises to be an eye opening and thought provoking journey. Thanks for joining us.

The Judiciary Committee of the House is presently looking into the possible contravention of antitrust regulations by significant advertisers, who may have conspired over which media agencies to exclude. Confidential documents obtained from the World Federation of Advertisers lend insight into a plan devised to ipso facto dissuade prominent advertisers from collaborating with certain news organizations. This concerted action may potentially lead to financial ruin for those media entities unable to secure the desired endorsement. The documents, as per the letters, suggest that the consortium may have sought to exclude established conservative news outlets. This includes, as per the documents, key players in the digital news frontier such as Fox News, Daily Wire, and Breitbart. Further probing into the matter has led the committee to seek answers from large corporations that make up GARM's 'steering committee', including Unilever, Procter & Gamble, GroupM, Diageo, and Mars. These particular documents ostensibly connect these corporations with such endeavors. These organizations have yet to publicly release any documents relevant to the active investigation. In addition, the letters have called for any communication originating from these corporations associated with the categorization, demonetization, or censuring of online speech. Furthermore, these inquiries also extend to communications concerning alterations subsequent to Elon Musk's X acquisition, a period marked by an exodus of many advertisers in reaction to the ousting of the more liberal-leaning Jack Dorsey in favor of Elon Musk. The investigation raises the possibility of individual accountability for these companies in relation to the actions of the collective body formulated. The group, known as GARM, appears to display cartelistic tendencies, despite the ostensibly rival status of many of its constituents. Announcing its objective of producing 'a safe media ecosystem', the Global Alliance through the World Economic Forum mirrors a mission statement you might expect from a figure akin to Darth Vader. The Global Alliance or GARM, as it is popularly known, is committed to ensuring consumer safety, minimalizing advertiser risks, building digital platform credibility, and above all, cultivating a sustainable online ecosystem. Major players who have pledged their support for the Global Alliance for Responsible Media through the Forum's Platform for Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Sport include some of the biggest names in the business world such as the LEGO Group, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, NBC Universal – MSNBC, Dentsu Group, WPP (through GroupM), Interpublic Group, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom Group, Facebook, and Google. In an escalating response to 'misinformation', GARM resolved in 2022 to list it among the online content classifications it deems unethical to support with advertising. Precisely, it advised corporations to consider the likes of NewsGuard, the Global Disinformation Index, and the Journalism Trust Initiative when deciding which media outlets to collaborate with. These organizations are believed to serve as arbiters of safe and reputable spaces for both ad buyers and news consumers. GARM assures its members of 'Brand Safety'. Concrete embodiments of this concept have been shown through commercial agencies like Newsguard. Here, potential ad buyers are provided with compliant lists distinguishing which TV shows, channels, podcasts, or newspapers are either safe for advertising or best evaded. This method is presented as a safety measure to guard their reputation against potential boycotts or negative campaigns. The crux of this approach is to protect corporations from facing backlash or smear campaigns from left-leaning factions. This essentially advises corporations to steer clear of certain media outlets if they wish to avoid any potential controversy. In its 2022 progress report, GARM reveled in qualities that, when viewed from a different perspective, could highlight anticompetitive practices. GARM's inception hinged on an exceptional alliance, marked by a novel approach to collaboration. This relies on the understanding that all sectors of the advertising industry stand to gain from forming partnerships. This partnership goes on to generate new brand safety protocols and universally accepted industry solutions where there had previously been none. The complex task of authentically influencing the entire media environment was a towering one, GARM acknowledged. Nevertheless, GARM boasts a comprehensive network of 61 significant companies that collectively account for a significant global advertising share, as well as 35 distinct industry affiliations representing numerous other advertisers. As companies looking to advertise are more likely to defer to such 'experts' given judgment on credibility, it potentially paves the way for extensive, coordinated blacklists. Evidently, even the most balanced and staid news outlets can be labeled as risky if they gear towards a conservative audience, such as the New York Post and Reason Magazine. Interestingly, these media raters often assign credibility scores on the basis of how closely the outlets align with the government's official narrative. They penalize outlets who dare to question official stances on topics like the origins of COVID — a theory initially discredited by the government but now largely backed by it. Newsguard has even been known to collaborate directly with the U.S. government, a move that sparked legal action by The Daily Wire and the Federalist. They filed a lawsuit against the State Department that condemns what they call ‘one of the most egregious, manipulative, clandestine, and severe abuses of power and breaches of First Amendment rights by the federal government in American history.' The ongoing Judiciary Committee investigation presents an intriguing landscape demonstrating the evolving dynamics between digital advertisers and online news organizations, where the struggle for credibility, advertising revenue, and ideological influence continues to shape the present and future of the media industry.
