INTRODUCTION
The Publicis Groupe owns a variety of advertising, marketing, public relations,
studios and media companies around the world. These companies were
acquired over a number of years and naturally each one has adopted
a different way of running its business.
While it is very important for the Publicis Groupe to respect and
maintain the various individual identities of these companies and
encourage their creativity and culture, it is also important to
bring a certain unified standard to these companies and take advantage
of the size and strength of the organisation as a whole.
Re:Sources UK was created to achieve this objective by centralising
the finance, administrative, legal, tax, IT, procurement and property
functions and leave the units to do what they do best in terms of
looking after the client's business.
Re:Sources UK is wholly owned by the Publicis Groupe (www.publicisgroupe.com)
