Account Management Intern - Publicis NY

Company Description

Our founder, Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, started Publicis in 1926 in a small two–room flat in Paris. Today, Publicis Worldwide is a global creative agency with over 13,000 employees in 84 countries. We provide change leadership for our clients and believe this era demands a combination of strategic, creative and digital ideas that help clients in their own marketing transformation. Publicis opened its doors in the US in 1993 and since then has grown to more than 2,000 employees across the US and Canada with primary offices in New York, Seattle, Toronto and Montreal.

Our mission is to be our client’s indispensable creative partner in their own marketing transformation. We believe that change has become the defining characteristic in today’s business environment. The brands that thrive are those that understand this and are designed to manage, capture and leverage the change in the world around them. To that extent, Publicis’ founder Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet’s spirit is still alive: You have to lead the change, if you don’t want to be led by change. In a world of accelerated change, the future of a brand and business cannot be predicted precisely, but it can be imagined. Today’s brands compete with new technologies, empowered consumers, shifting public attitudes, brand new contenders and much more. In order to keep their relevance among customers, managing change and uncertainty is a pre-requisite. Creating leading strategies and powerful ideas that allow our clients’ brands to become unique, irreplaceable, in control and ahead is our purpose.
