Le Pub is a leading creative force at Publicis and in the world (“#1 Creative Agency in World” - Warc 2023 for second year, “#1 Creative Agency in the World” The Drum 2024 for 3 consecutive years, “#2 most creative awarded agency in the world”, Cannes Lions 2023, “Effectiveness awards” – Kantar, Effie, Eurobest 2020/21/22/23) – combining best-in-class creativity, inventiveness and technology expertise with creatively ambitious clients.
We believe that brands can no longer merely communicate with consumers, and must now earn their place in people’s daily lives. Stated differently – it’s about helping brands deliver real value (rather than communicating “at them”). That’s why Le Pub is obsessed with creating innovative experiences that matter enough to “live in culture”. Fueled by rich global data and powered by world-class creativity - Le Pub is Where Brands Meet Culture.
