Publicis Group ANZ launches innovative talent and influencer offering
Publicis Groupe ANZ is helping brands take full advantage of influencers and talent with its new FLUENT initiative.
Developed to consolidate Publicis’s talent, tools and technology for the benefit of maximum brand impact, FLUENT will focus on e-commerce partnership integrations, a ‘Return on Influence’ framework, and co-creation and influencer/talent identification.
At its core, FLUENT’s offering – FLUENT TALENT – will oversee its own talent roster and campaign casting for several channels, inlcuding TV commercials, “socially driven initiatives”, partnerships and outdoor advertising. Ultimately, the service will help create authentic connections to brands via its roster and collaborations with talent management agencies.
Another confusing fiefdom at Publicis to add to the other 18 already in the building. Why not improve your current struggling brands (Arc, Balance, Digitas, Razorfish, Salterbaxter etc) instead of launching another new one.
Very late to the party to be making noise around influencers. Throwing in commerce and return on influence just makes it more cheesy. Feels like a few steak knives might be thrown in too.
Yes influencers promote products…this is not e commerce..not a solution etc. Surprised to see this from a respected group.
