As a global branded wrapper that delivers the strongest commerce talent, tech, and partnerships in markets, Publicis Commerce provides clients with end-to-end products and solutions that drive clear business outcomes.

With a highly collaborative team of subject-matter experts, Publicis Commerce is a trusted partner to clients in navigating the complexities and emerging opportunities of the Commerce landscape, whether that be through marketplaces, eRetail or emerging direct-to-consumer channels.

We have a flexible go-to-market strategy, whether we appear as Publicis Commerce to clients or through one of our many agencies within the Groupe.

From strategy and organisational design to activation models, Publicis Commerce works across a number of exciting briefs, such as how clients can maximise visibility and sales on the digital shelf, best construct data-led relationships with retailers and how to effectively transform legacy organisational structures. Our aim is not to talk to individual capabilities, instead focusing on driving client outcomes.

There is significant momentum in the Groupe having acquired the retail media platform, CitrusAd, and the eRetail analytics platform, Profitero, alongside a genuine desire from clients to explore the opportunity the emerging landscape offers.

We are placing a significant bet on Commerce within the Groupe on eRetail and are building a powerhouse of capability to deliver on this.
