Good god what a mess. I guess this is what it looks like when holding companies try to actually make something.

Publicis people, do you get to enter awards shows again at least?
Marcel is changing to become an award entry machine. It will write the case studies and edit the videos.
I remember when Arthur announced this and none of our C-suite could answer exactly what Marcel was supposed to do. Sounds like they still can’t answer that question today. That’s PR over substance.

The amount of money put into this while we’ve all been sinking is just 🤦🏻♀️

Wow! That sounds like an absolute nightmare. There should a case study done about this...how to complete mismanage a digital product.

Paywall.
wow that last sentence
A “bi prime story”!!

It’s because they’re French: stubborn, refuse to listen to anyone else once they’ve made up their mind, and can convince themselves of anything.
Always wondered why Sadoun looks so confused in every photo.
He’s a loser.
