Under John Farrell's leadership, since 2003, Publicis Groupe's SAMS operations have grown from 23% to 36% of the revenues of a now much larger group, which is made up of some of the leading assets in the industry. Over the last 5 years John Farrell has also played a leading role on Publicis Groupe's global mergers and acquisitions strategy, and has been instrumental in inspiring many of the Groupe's most important acquisitions, such as Digitas, Freud Communications in the UK, and Kekst in the USA.
Maurice Levy, Chairman & CEO of Publicis Groupe commented: "I am very sorry that John has taken this decision, as he has done an outstanding job for us defining the strategy of SAMS, and building the business to its current important level. It's typical of John's professionalism that he has agreed to continue working with me and the other members of the P12 on executing our transition plans for SAMS over the coming months. John's impressive knowledge of holistic communications has made him an invaluable member of our Groupe executive committee, (the P12), and he will be missed. I would like to sincerely thank him for his many contributions to the Groupe's success. I also want to wish him well with his new adventures, and have absolutely no doubt about his continued success!"
John Farrell added: "I am proud of the substantial SAMS business we have created together, and am fully committed to ensuring their further success before my departure. I set out to build a robust, quality presence for Publicis Groupe SAMS, and at 36% of the groupe revenues today, I feel that's achieved. This was a tough decision for me as my 5 years at the Publicis Groupe have been some of the most exciting of my career. It has been a privilege and an education to work with Maurice, my P12 friends and colleagues, and alongside the inspiring people of Publicis Groupe, and I am now looking forward excitedly to the next phase of my professional life!"
