Publicis seems to be a sinking ship. Over 400 to 450 people have been laid off in less than a year. Today 100 to 150 MORE people were laid off.

@pcq sorry to hear about it. Hope you land something soon.
Can you share which group this is from?
Yes. My team got laid off.
Based on this news: https://www.adweek.com/media/publicis-epsilon-ssp-data-reseller-buyer-concerns/ there will be more shrinkage and in the limit a complete shutdown of this company.
My dear layoff owners: please don't delete this true comment based on legal proof.
@11d more to come at the end of the year and a bunch in Q1 '26 - after a lot of the cloud transformation projects are complete. They'll just need to keep a skeleton staff to maintain the systems once they are streamlined.
@f9 News is correct. 100 people were fired on Sep 5
@OP this is correct news. Most of the creatives were affected including PM and AM on US/Global AOR
Pitches aren't going good & clients are leaving to go in house.... start applying
@t8 Phew. So, not in Epsilon.
Good luck to the Publicis folks.
Don't see anything on any "WARN" tracker though.
More layoffs coming in Publicis Sapient
@f9 It def happened.
Is this old news , like from 2024?
I don't see any recent layoff news about Publicis.
Is this across the board or in a few groups? Worried because I haven't heard anything in our circle.
