International Account Director - h/f, CDI

Description de l'entreprise

At Publicis Connected Media, we connect all our expertise to make a difference.

A difference for our clients, by creating sustainable competitive advantages in a world where AI can sometimes make strategies, operations, and campaigns look too similar. And a difference for each of our 2,000 talents, by giving them the opportunity to grow within one of the most multidisciplinary collectives in France.

Our ambition is simple: to design and manage paid, earned, shared, and owned media ecosystems that deliver measurable and lasting results. To achieve this, we have structured our talents and agencies around four core areas of expertise: Media, CRM & Data Marketing, Influence, and Commerce.

By placing data, identity, technology, AI, and our solutions at the heart of these four pillars, we are now able to support brands across all or part of the consumer journey, and at every touchpoint. In a market where data, expertise, disciplines, and technologies must be more connected than ever, joining Publicis Connected Media means becoming part of a company in motion, designed to meet the needs of tomorrow’s clients.

It is a collective where you can learn fast, grow alongside experts, evolve in a highly multidisciplinary environment, and contribute to projects that make a real difference, both in France and internationally.
