The Australian arm of Publicis Groupe outpaced the company’s global organic growth rate in the March quarter.

In a briefing of market analysts, CFO Loris Nold said that Australia recorded 7.6% growth.

This is ahead of the global advertising company’s sector-beating overall organic growth rate of 6.4% in the March quarter.

Among Publicis' local recent wins are CPA Australia and expanded remits with Gumtree  and the NT Government.

Publicis led the Australia media pitch league in 2025 at a group level, generating $US208 million driven by Paramount ($34m), Mars ($34m), Aldi ($30m) and Flight Centre ($27M), according to the New Business Barometer by COMvergence

All Publicis’ regions did well in the March quarter.

Net revenue in Asia Pacific recorded 5.9% growth. China reported 11.7% organic growth.

This continues Australia’s stand out performance. The business delivered 9.5% organic growth in the December quarter compared to the global number of 5.9% for the France-based advertising group.

Publicis Groupe has confirmed its guidance of 4% to 5% net revenue organic growth for the full year of 2026, fuelled by new business tailwinds, strong client retention and growth across its client base.
