IAA LUNCHEON — LONDON
“Viva la difference” is the Publicis slogan, and Chairman Maurice
Lévy ensures that France’s leading ad agency conglomerate lives
up to that motto. Not only has Publicis bought more than 100
companies since the mid-1990s, but Lévy has been quoted in
London’s Independent newspaper as saying, “We need global
reach. We need to be in the top tier to be in the game. But the
biggest? No. Just the best.” On January 19, the U.K. Chapter of the
IAA hosted a luncheon program with an interview of Lévy by CNN
journalist Becky Andersen. The Publicis chairman proved that he
can be both charming and provocative in English as well as in
French. (All photo identifications from left.)
