News Summary

Publicis Media Welcomes New Addition: Dysrupt
In an exciting development in the advertising world, Publicis Media U.S. has announced its acquisition of the innovative performance marketing agency Dysrupt. While the financial terms of this deal remain undisclosed, the impact it could have on both companies is expected to be significant.
A New Chapter for Dysrupt
Dysrupt, founded in 2019 by Jarod Haness and Nate Lorenzen, has made quite a name for itself in the marketing world. The agency caters to a wide variety of clients across diverse sectors, including e-commerce, entertainment, fintech, health and wellness, and subscriptions. This acquisition will see Dysrupt’s CEO, Peter Muzzonigro, along with Haness and Lorenzen taking on pivotal roles within Publicis Media, reporting directly to their U.S. CEO, Chris Boothe.
Enhancing Advertising Capabilities
One of the standout features of Dysrupt is its proprietary Impact Advertising System (IAS). This system is said to enhance Publicis Media’s capabilities in full-service advertising management. With a keen focus on privacy and innovation, dysrupt aims to push the boundaries of traditional marketing strategies in favor of new, impactful methods.
The IAS suite offers a comprehensive approach that includes media buying, performance creative, and even tools for cookieless measurement technologies. Chris Boothe highlighted the exceptional results generated by Dysrupt’s unique strategies in the marketing landscape, which will certainly strengthen Publicis Media’s offerings as they join forces.
Excitement for Future Growth
As they step into their new roles, Haness and Lorenzen expressed their enthusiasm for what lies ahead. They believe that joining forces with Publicis Media will accelerate their impact within the market. They shared their eagerness to deliver measurable results, a key goal when it comes to performance marketing.
The Broader Picture
Publicis Media U.S. doesn’t operate in isolation; it is part of the larger Publicis Connected Media unit. This network is comprised of various digital experience agencies and marketing technology firms, allowing for a more comprehensive service offering to clients.
Recent Changes at Publicis Media
However, it’s worth mentioning that Publicis Media has faced some turbulence recently. The agency made headlines when it parted ways with over 100 staffers in the U.S. due to non-compliance with a new return-to-office policy. This policy mandates that employees work from the office at least three days a week, including Mondays, with limits on consecutive work-from-home days. It’s a move that has been met with mixed feelings among staffers.
Winning Big
Despite the challenges, Publicis Media has been on a winning streak lately. The agency successfully secured several major media accounts, including a significant $500 million European media account for Sky, along with Rocket’s $320 million and Hershey’s $300 million media accounts. Such successes contribute to Publicis Groupe being ranked number one in global new business gains for 2023, boasting a net new business revenue of $700 million, according to a recent report by R3 Worldwide.
Looking Ahead
With the addition of Dysrupt, Publicis Media is well-positioned to innovate further and enhance its advertising capabilities. As they blend Dysrupt’s dynamic strategies with their extensive resources, the future looks bright for this growing team in the advertising space. The marketing industry is always evolving, and with these changes, we’re excited to see how Publicis Media redefines its approach to reaching consumers.
