Director- Strategy and Insights

Nothing defines a work space more than the spirit of the place. So we’re designing Publicis One Touch with a uniquely human touch, from personnel to processes, headquarters to hubs. Our office layout is made to encourage co-working, giving talents of many disciplines the spaces they can come together in with the equipment they need to inspire innovative and creating thinking. 

Exceptional challenges require different thinking. Publicis One Touch is built on the strengths that only diversity provides. Our working teams are highly diverse, representing a wide range of disciplines, genders, origins, languages and skills. This maximises the benefits of collaboration, and also makes our office culture one where we learn more from each other, as professionals and as people. Creativity and an interdisciplinary approach are what allow us to find a solution where nobody expected.
