Introduction/
Founded in Paris in 1926, Publicis Groupe is a world leader in
business marketing, communication and digital transformation.
Among the global company’s subsidiaries are the world’s leading
agencies, including Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, Digitas, Starcom,
Marcel and many others.
The group’s slogan, “Viva la différence !” illustrates the diversity and
innovation that characterize it. This difference lies within everything
the group creates.
Since 2009 Maurice Lévy, the Board President, has presented annually
a creative video campaign directed by one of the group’s agencies.
This content, intended primarily for the group’s 77,000 staff members,
is now a moment that the whole industry looks forward to every year.
Key results
•	 Video launch day:
•	 Over 31 million Twitter impressions
•	 #TheSkippableWishes became a trending topic on Twitter
•	 Recorded over 467 Tweets per hour about the campaign
•	 The video was viewed 175,000 times
•	 The 2016 campaign achieved four times more mentions
when compared with the 2015 campaign
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 03
Founded in 2010, Marcel was borne of the digital age. Its digital DNA makes it one of the most awarded
agencies with a unique and recognizable style.
For the 2016 campaign, the brief from the Publicis Groupe’s communication directors was that they wanted
it to be more “traditional” and less technology heavy than in the previous years.
Three ideas were presented to Board President Maurice Lévy by the Marcel team, but only one got
unanimous approval. “The Skippable Wishes” campaign was created.
The concept for the video was simple and inspired by the digital (skipping) and traditional (stereotypical
commercials) advertising culture. After a few seconds, the “Skip Maurice” Button allows the listeners to
shorten Mr Lévy’s speech to access the next interesting content. The viewer then discovers the CEO inside a
series of spoof commercials, for products such as washing powder and toothpaste.
“We created parodies of stereotypical adverts by injecting Mr Lévy’s natural
self-derision into them, and deploying the campaign on the social networks
as a tribute to our industry and the way it evolved.”
PASCAL NESSIM, CO-PRESIDENT AT MARCEL
The Skippable Wishes,
a campaign by Marcel
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study	 04
Publicis Groupe...
uses Brandwatch Analytics
to measure its social efforts
and was able to evaluate the
success of its “The Skippable
Wishes” campaign.
The goal of the campaign was to transform a corporate speech
and to demonstrate the variety of Publicis Groupe’s talents and
show a different side of Maurice Lévy’s personality. It’s also a way
to strengthen the group’s public image.
The communication team used Brandwatch to measure the success
of the campaign.
“We want to know the public’s reaction, but also
see how they interact with the campaign. Being
able to quantify our social media efforts in order to
evaluate the success or the failure of a corporate
campaign helps us adjust our strategy and our
future campaigns.”
LINDSAY MCCALLUM,
GLOBAL COMMUNICATION MANAGER AT PUBLICIS GROUPE
A campaign with a difference
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study	 05
The campaign was officially launched on December 16th 2015. Mentions were tracked in Brandwatch
from December 15th.
Indeed, every year, on the day before the official launch, Maurice Lévy and the creative team at Publicis
Groupe organize a preview showing of the campaign at the Publicis Groupe’s HQ for a small group of
employees, influencers and partners.
This year, the team recreated the setting of one of the scenes from the video, and encouraged the guests
to re-enact the “Skippable Wishes” themselves. An effective way to increase the buzz while keeping the
humorous tone at the heart of the campaign.

Debuting the campaign
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 06
The demographic data from Brandwatch showed that 52% of the first discussion around “The Skippable
Wishes” came from people working in the creative and advertising fields, such as marketing, public relations,
and arts. This reflects the professional fields of the people who were present at the preview showing.
The buzz originated primarily from France, with 70% of mentions coming from France on the day of the
preview and grew globally overtime.

Between December 15th and December 16th, the campaign netted
over 32 million impressions on Twitter.
Within 2 weeks, the campaign mentioned over 4,500 times, across
5 continents, with 100% positive sentiment.
The campaign appeared in a wide range of French and international
media, The Guardian, Le Point, Business Insider, CB News, Advertising
Age, Ad and PR Week, Siècle Digital, The Economic Times and the
RTBF praised the group’s efforts.
*The impressions show the
number of people who are
potentially exposed to the
campaign. It is the number
of followers for the Authors
who tweeted or retweeted
the campaign.
A campaign that is hard to “skip”
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study	 08
The same phenomenon was witnessed among influencers, with many Tweeting about the campaign.
Among them, French actors Michaël Youn and Baptiste Lorber, Liberation journalist Alexandre Hervaud,
Australian blogger and speaker Darren Rowse, Tunisian activist Amira Yahyaoui, and French digital
marketing leaders Fréderic Cavazza and Matthieu Flaig.
Using Brandwatch Analytics for a closer examination of the influencers Tweets’ rather than retweets
revealed that almost 60% of the interactions were original Tweets. The data also revealed that 70% of the
people that were exposed to the campaign in the first two weeks were exposed to it via a personal account
as opposed to an organization’s account.
These two indicators clearly show that “The Skippable Wishes” succeeded in involving a wider audience,
a real achievement for a corporate message.
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study	 09
Beyond these impressive figures, the communications team also wanted to identify the most discussed
themes in the conversations around the campaign.
Thus, the analysis of the themes around The Skippable Wishes
highlighted four key insights.
A positive response
The public’s reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Most of the key
words reflected how much the public enjoyed the campaign.
The analysis of the key
words allows a better
understanding of the opinions
and the emotions behind the
discussions on the social web.
Using Brandwatch Analytics,
you can zoom in on any word
or expression in order to
perform detailed analysis of
the context that surrounds
this theme, and adapt your
engagement to your audience.
From keywords to insights
Publicis Groupe/ Case Study	 10
Maurice Lévy
The campaign really boosted Mr Lévy’s exposition. Both as main actor and president of the Publicis Groupe
board, Maurice Lévy’s name features in 69% of the discussions.
The linguistic variety in the key words reveals the global success of the campaign, with the word “France”
partly generated in a tweet by actor Michaël Youn:

A benefit that comes with using a social listening platform like Brandwatch is the ability to compare the
results from one campaign to the next. The data collected is only useful if it can be used to improve your
future social activities.
This is precisely what the Publicis Groupe achieved by comparing “The Skippable Wishes” campaign of 2016
to “The Very Good Wishes” campaign in 2015.

The 2016 campaign gathered four times more mentions than that of 2015.
By comparing the mentions stemming from both individual and organizations’ accounts, the communications
team found that the campaign had generated more engagement from the general public. The buzz coming
from individual accounts grew from 75% in 2015 to 85% in 2016.
The analysis of the geographic distribution of the two campaigns also offered some interesting insights.

The mentions of ‘The Skippable Wishes’ came mainly from France rather than from the rest of the world,
as seen in 2015.
This indicates that in the future the international reach should be taken into account when building the
strategy for the next campaign.
However, the data confirmed that humor is an effective way to overcome cultural and linguistic differences.
54% of the mentions about the campaign mentioned the humor of “The Skippable Wishes” campaign.

Thanks to
Brandwatch,
Publicis Groupe
is going to …
Measure and analyze its future
“Viva Technology” campaign and
set up a standardized long term
measuring process for
their campaigns.
With over 1,300 agencies in 108 countries, Publicis Groupe launches
numerous campaigns all year long including strategic announcements,
acquisitions and events, and holiday greetings.
The communications team needed a powerful, flexible, and
customizable platform that would allow them to track mentions in the
media and on the social web, perform a detailed analysis, and compare
the collected data, to obtain insights that would inform and adapt the
group’s communication strategy.
Thanks to Brandwatch, Publicis Groupe was able to collect social data
in order to:
•	 Measure the impact of all of their campaigns
•	 Measure the online reputation for the group, its agencies
and its leaders
•	 Identify specific groups of influencers
•	 Set up a competitive benchmark by reviewing their share of voice
“Comparing how successful our different
campaigns are from one year to the other will
allow us to improve our PR and social efforts
continuously for the whole company.”

VP, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AT PUBLICIS GROUPE

Publicis Groupe - Using social data to inform campaign strategy

  • 1. Monsieur Lévy © Brandwatch.com Case Study/ Publicis Groupe Transforming a corporate message into a global campaign
  • 2. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 02 1,349 AGENCIES 77,000 STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT IN 108 COUNTRIES €9,601M IN ANNUAL INCOME Introduction/ Founded in Paris in 1926, Publicis Groupe is a world leader in business marketing, communication and digital transformation. Among the global company’s subsidiaries are the world’s leading agencies, including Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, Digitas, Starcom, Marcel and many others. The group’s slogan, “Viva la différence !” illustrates the diversity and innovation that characterize it. This difference lies within everything the group creates. Since 2009 Maurice Lévy, the Board President, has presented annually a creative video campaign directed by one of the group’s agencies. This content, intended primarily for the group’s 77,000 staff members, is now a moment that the whole industry looks forward to every year. Key results • Video launch day: • Over 31 million Twitter impressions • #TheSkippableWishes became a trending topic on Twitter • Recorded over 467 Tweets per hour about the campaign • The video was viewed 175,000 times • The 2016 campaign achieved four times more mentions when compared with the 2015 campaign
  • 3. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 03 Founded in 2010, Marcel was borne of the digital age. Its digital DNA makes it one of the most awarded agencies with a unique and recognizable style. For the 2016 campaign, the brief from the Publicis Groupe’s communication directors was that they wanted it to be more “traditional” and less technology heavy than in the previous years. Three ideas were presented to Board President Maurice Lévy by the Marcel team, but only one got unanimous approval. “The Skippable Wishes” campaign was created. The concept for the video was simple and inspired by the digital (skipping) and traditional (stereotypical commercials) advertising culture. After a few seconds, the “Skip Maurice” Button allows the listeners to shorten Mr Lévy’s speech to access the next interesting content. The viewer then discovers the CEO inside a series of spoof commercials, for products such as washing powder and toothpaste. “We created parodies of stereotypical adverts by injecting Mr Lévy’s natural self-derision into them, and deploying the campaign on the social networks as a tribute to our industry and the way it evolved.” PASCAL NESSIM, CO-PRESIDENT AT MARCEL The Skippable Wishes, a campaign by Marcel
  • 4. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 04 Publicis Groupe... uses Brandwatch Analytics to measure its social efforts and was able to evaluate the success of its “The Skippable Wishes” campaign. The goal of the campaign was to transform a corporate speech and to demonstrate the variety of Publicis Groupe’s talents and show a different side of Maurice Lévy’s personality. It’s also a way to strengthen the group’s public image. The communication team used Brandwatch to measure the success of the campaign. “We want to know the public’s reaction, but also see how they interact with the campaign. Being able to quantify our social media efforts in order to evaluate the success or the failure of a corporate campaign helps us adjust our strategy and our future campaigns.” LINDSAY MCCALLUM, GLOBAL COMMUNICATION MANAGER AT PUBLICIS GROUPE A campaign with a difference
  • 5. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 05 The campaign was officially launched on December 16th 2015. Mentions were tracked in Brandwatch from December 15th. Indeed, every year, on the day before the official launch, Maurice Lévy and the creative team at Publicis Groupe organize a preview showing of the campaign at the Publicis Groupe’s HQ for a small group of employees, influencers and partners. This year, the team recreated the setting of one of the scenes from the video, and encouraged the guests to re-enact the “Skippable Wishes” themselves. An effective way to increase the buzz while keeping the humorous tone at the heart of the campaign.

  • 6. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 06 The demographic data from Brandwatch showed that 52% of the first discussion around “The Skippable Wishes” came from people working in the creative and advertising fields, such as marketing, public relations, and arts. This reflects the professional fields of the people who were present at the preview showing. The buzz originated primarily from France, with 70% of mentions coming from France on the day of the preview and grew globally overtime.

  • 7. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 07 The campaign, and its official hashtag, #TheSkippableWishes, saw tremendous success from day one. On December 16th 2015, the day of the official launch, the number of unique mentions recorded in an hour peaked at 467 mentions per hour. VOLUME OF MENTIONS PER HOUR DAY OF THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH 0 100 200 300 400 500 10:00 PM8:00 PM6:00 PM4:00 PM2:00 PM12:00 PM10:00 AM8:00 AM Between December 15th and December 16th, the campaign netted over 32 million impressions on Twitter. Within 2 weeks, the campaign mentioned over 4,500 times, across 5 continents, with 100% positive sentiment. The campaign appeared in a wide range of French and international media, The Guardian, Le Point, Business Insider, CB News, Advertising Age, Ad and PR Week, Siècle Digital, The Economic Times and the RTBF praised the group’s efforts. *The impressions show the number of people who are potentially exposed to the campaign. It is the number of followers for the Authors who tweeted or retweeted the campaign. A campaign that is hard to “skip”
  • 8. Publicis Groupe/ Case Study 08 The same phenomenon was witnessed among influencers, with many Tweeting about the campaign. Among them, French actors Michaël Youn and Baptiste Lorber, Liberation journalist Alexandre Hervaud, Australian blogger and speaker Darren Rowse, Tunisian activist Amira Yahyaoui, and French digital marketing leaders Fréderic Cavazza and Matthieu Flaig. Using Brandwatch Analytics for a closer examination of the influencers Tweets’ rather than retweets revealed that almost 60% of the interactions were original Tweets. The data also revealed that 70% of the people that were exposed to the campaign in the first two weeks were exposed to it via a personal account as opposed to an organization’s account. These two indicators clearly show that “The Skippable Wishes” succeeded in involving a wider audience, a real achievement for a corporate message.

Both as main actor and president of the Publicis Groupe board, Maurice Lévy’s name features in 69% of the discussions. The linguistic variety in the key words reveals the global success of the campaign, with the word “France” partly generated in a tweet by actor Michaël Youn: Michael Youn @MichaelYoun @PublicisGroupe’s boss Maurice Lévy is definitively the funniest boss in France!

The buzz coming from individual accounts grew from 75% in 2015 to 85% in 2016. The analysis of the geographic distribution of the two campaigns also offered some interesting insights.
