Campaign Chemistry: Publicis Groupe global CMO Justin Billingsley

Justin Billingsley has one hell of a Lego set. Publicis Groupe’s first global chief marketing officer used the famed building blocks in an analogy during the Ad Age Ad Lib podcast to explain how the holding company’s Power of One works for clients. Billingsley said that for client Mercedes-Benz the company constructed a shop, Publicis Emil, composed of 650 people in 39 countries customized specifically to the automaker’s needs.

Publicis CMO Justin Billingsley on the Power of One and what his client-side past brings to his new role

Justin Billingsley defies convention. It would be very easy to make assumptions about someone who is one of the most senior people globally in a multinational advertising group. Whatever picture that brings to mind, Justin is NONE of that…and is a true Maverick. As the CEO of Publicis DACH and Publicis EMIL, Justin runs a multi-billion dollar business. But, he walked into our interview, took off his converse trainers and chatted with me as if I had known him for years. It couldn’t have been more refreshing experience. In this podcast, Justin discusses his journey as a Maverick and how he has risen to the ranks of being a global business leader, all while staying true to himself. What impressed me most about Justin is just how down-to-earth, humble, geeky and personal he is. He is also immensely smart. If you work in corporate but long to be more true to yourself, this is a must listen.In this conversation, we talk about: Even in corporations, you can be disrupting and entrepreneurial   What is your one-word equity?   What it takes to reach the top of one of the world’s largest and most successful companies   The challenges and opportunities of moving your family and moving to China   How as a Maverick, you have to be able to embrace ambiguity   Despite technology, it is still important to do business by looking people in the eye by being there in person   In the age of information and technology, staying analogue is what keeps Justin organised   As a founder, know your weaknesses and staff up around that   The challenges of integrating family life and self-care and with being a global business leader   How even global leaders have the people that inspire them   When looking for inspiration, read outside of your immediate area of interest…it stimulates creativity and lateral thinking   Assume that you are not an imposter! That holds more people back than almost anything else… Justin's Social LinksLinkedIn | Twitter
