To mark the occasion, it has unveiled a six-minute film that blends live action with the group\u2019s AI tools to chart its rise from its 1926 beginnings as a small creative shop in Paris\u2019 buzzy Montmartre district to a $20 billion holdco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Lion Never Gives Up\u201d was created over 12 months by a 10-person team from Publicis Conseil, the original agency built by the ad network\u2019s founder Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet.<\/p>\n<p>The video opens with narration by an AI-generated rendition of French musical legend \u00c9dith Piaf.<\/p>\n<p>It goes on to chart key milestones in Publicis\u2019 history, from Bleustein-Blanchet\u2019s role in the WWII resistance in the 1940s, to Maurice L\u00e9vy rescuing vital files during the 1972 fire that gutted its Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es offices, to the upheaval of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Each event is seen through the eyes of Publicis\u2019 Lion marque, a symbol of the three chief executives (CEOs) who\u2019ve steered the company over the last century, including current boss Arthur Sadoun.<\/p>\n<p>Sadoun told ADWEEK the film demonstrates that Publicis has always been about \u201chuman ideas,\u201d but highlights how AI can aid production in ways not previously possible. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at our businesses, we never return to the past; we\u2019re obsessed with what\u2019s next,\u201d he added. \u201cThis film is a lesson for everyone at Publicis that whatever is coming, we\u2019ll be ready, because we are not afraid of the future, we know how to handle difficult moments, and we\u2019re constantly reinventing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Agathe Bousquet, president of Publicis Groupe France, who oversees Conseil, said Sadoun gave her team \u201ccarte blanche\u201d to create the centenary film at the start of 2025. <\/p>\n<p>Around a quarter of the film is live action, with the rest created by AI. Prompt artists managed, sourced, and catalogued around 4,500 images across 150 shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI can amplify, but it\u2019s our talent that really makes the difference,\u201d explained Bousquet. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the message we want to send. <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI arms race<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The video lands as Publicis looks to showcase its AI chops in a shrinking pool of competitors.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>This week, its biggest rival, Omnicom, closed its acquisition of IPG, overtaking the French group as the largest agency network by billings, and pledging to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/agencies\/omnicom-to-cut-4000-jobs-retire-fcb-ddb-and-mullenlowe\/\" target=\"_blank\">double down on its AI and data capabilities<\/a> amid a major structural overhaul that will shed 4,000 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Following acquisitions including Epsilon and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/agencies\/inside-publicis-groupes-surprise-acquisition-of-id-business-lotame\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lotame<\/a>, 73% of Publicis\u2019 operating model is now \u201cAI-powered,\u201d said Sadoun. In September, the ad group revealed that 80% of revenues from its media arm, which accounts for 60% of the company\u2019s total earnings, are now supported by its AI tools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are embarking on our next century in a new industry paradigm,\u201d Sadoun said, noting that Omnicom\u2019s IPG acquisition had \u201cended the holdco legacy landscape as we know it,\u201d creating a situation where Publicis and Omnicom\u2019s combined billings will represent around 80% of the market. <\/p>\n<div class=\"horizontal-teaser my-4 py-4 border-top border-bottom\">\n<section class=\"Horizontal_Teaser row d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"section--teaser_partner col-12 col-md-6 col-xl-4\">                     <a class=\"link-reset text-decoration-none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/agencies\/the-five-most-important-takeaways-from-omnicoms-ipg-takeover\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static-www.adweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/omnicom-ipg-merger-takeaways-2025.jpg?w=640&amp;h=360&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Since Omnicom announced its intent to acquire Interpublic Group (IPG) in December of last year, industry onlookers have speculated what the new company will look like.
