Arthur Sadoun, chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe, said: “In a tough macroeconomic environment, Publicis had a very strong Q2 ahead of expectations. We delivered +10% revenue growth, leading to +5.9% net revenue organic growth, and an outperformance versus competition once again, of 800 basis points. With H1 organic growth at +5.4% we continued to make material market share gains."
