**About Le Pub
Le Pub was created by combining the renowned Publicis Italy (“#1 Creative Agency in World” - Adweek 2021, “#2 Creative Agency in the World” at Cannes 2021, “Most Effective Ad in the world” - Kantar 2021) & best-in-class data, media and technology expertise from Publicis Amsterdam. **We are expanding globally and coming to Singapore looking for hungry and talented people.**

We believe that brands can no longer merely communicate with consumers and must now earn their place in people’s daily lives. Stated differently - it’s about helping brands deliver real value (rather than messages). That’s why Le Pub is obsessed with creating innovative experiences that matter enough to “live in culture”. Fueled by rich global data and powered by world-class creativity - Le Pub is where brands meet culture.

The most creative agency in the world
