Company description

We are the ROI agency, a position we have proudly held true to since 2005. Our more than 6,000 specialists across 95 markets offer unparalleled capabilities in Media, Data, Technology, Commerce and Content. We put effectiveness at the heart of our work to solve complex challenges, drive successful business outcomes, and grow our clients' businesses.

Over the years, we have evolved our definition of ROI, as it has changed with the ever- complicated communications landscape. ROI is no longer simply about the most efficient planning, buying and reporting of media.

Yes, ROI is about delivering Return on Investment; but it's also about going beyond to deliver a

Return on Imagination and more integrated experiences that inspire Growth. Top-line growth

for our clients' businesses, growth for our people and growth for our culture.

Powered by our best-in-class proprietary tools and data, our work spans the full spectrum of media communications, from analytics, data and technology to performance marketing, content and superior trading.

This breadth means we deliver Insight that lies at the intersection of consumer, category, and brand, attributing every budget to stronger business outcomes.

It means we deliver more creative media solutions that bring together best-in-class strategy, planning and the power of Publicis Groupe to ensure distinct and more personal brand experiences for our clients.

It means we adopt new data analytics and value optimisation techniques while building

relationships with some of the world's most exciting start-ups. We leverage over 30 years of media planning expertise to go beyond traditional media solutions and deliver a Return on Investment that is both forward-thinking and accountable to our clients.

At Zenith, we ultimately seek out a more meaningful kind of ROI. Our unique way of thinking inspires growth for some of the world's leading brands, including Coty, Electrolux, Essity, Lactalis, Luxottica, Nestlé, Nomad Foods, Reckitt, Tik Tok and Verizon.
