Over this time, we have tripled our revenue, with digital being one of the keys to this growth. Coupled with new business wins such as Disney, Meta, Crocs, along with growing our internal digital team by more than double in the past 12 months, we are well positioned to meet our clients’ future needs around the integration of digital, data and traditional media.”

Senga says: “In assuming the role of Head of Digital, I am committed to extending Publicis Groupe’s leadership in the digital media sector in the Japanese market. Publicis Groupe Japan has enjoyed phenomenal growth over the past few years – I look forward to contributing to the success of our clients by implementing Data-Driven Marketing solutions that drive effectiveness in the cookie-less era.”
