Title: Integrated Producer, Pitch Team

Location: London, Chancery Lane

Department: Publicis Production — Commercial

Reporting to: Global Technology Solutions Director

Contract: Permanent

About Publicis Production

Within Publicis Groupe's Intelligent Creativity business, we specialise in bringing creative ideas to life and to consumers. By combining 100 years of craft excellence with 6,000 experts across 52 locations of the world's biggest studio network, we leverage the industry's richest data, through the power of agentic AI, to radically redefine content production with Intelligent Content.

We deliver this through Leona — Publicis Production's proprietary Intelligent Content platform and the world's first AI-powered content agent. Leona enables predictively performing content that unlocks business growth, eliminating guesswork and waste to deliver content that works harder.

About the Role

This is a founding permanent role within Publicis Production's Global New Business and Pitch team — an prospect to build the pitch production function from the ground up. Sitting at the centre of some of the most high-profile, high-stakes new business moments in the group, you will be the production backbone of Global Production pitches across approximately 20 engagements per year, ranging in scope from multi-million to billion-pound billing opportunities.

These are typically large-scale, multi-agency responses where Publicis Groupe agencies unite to deliver a single, coherent answer to a client's global brief, spanning above-the-line (ATL), below-the-line (BTL), and through-the-line (TTL) content. Creative output from multiple regional agency partners must pull through seamlessly into Global Production's proprietary content engine, Marcel Make, and the associated production deliverables — executed to the highest possible production standard. In practice, this material often arrives late or incomplete, creating risk at the most critical moments of the new business cycle.

You will own the end-to-end production workstream across these pitches — proactively managing creative partners, aligning regional inputs, ensuring client-provided toolkits are leveraged to their full potential, and guaranteeing that everything required to bring a pitch to life is in place, on time, and to the standard our prospective clients expect.

You will be consulted during early RFI/RFP stages and fully active from creative brand brief through to pitch demo, at which point you will orchestrate the production team and studio network rather than present the technology solution directly. Reporting to the Global Technology Solutions Director and working alongside an established team including a Programme Manager, Creative Director, and Creative Technologist, you will operate as a senior individual contributor with the authority to draw on Publicis Production's global studio network. There is clear scope for this role to grow into a people management position as the pitch team expands.

Key Responsibilities

Pitch Production Leadership

- Own the end-to-end production workstream across all pitches, coordinating inputs from 2–6 regional creative agency partners and ensuring all creative outputs — spanning ATL, BTL, and TTL — pull through correctly and to the highest production standard into Marcel Make and associated deliverables.
- Take accountability for the quality of all production output,



ensuring every pitch asset meets the standard expected by prospective global clients.
- Act as the primary production point of contact across pitch teams, providing clear guidance on delivery timelines, asset requirements, technical specifications, and toolkit utilisation.
- Ensure that client-provided toolkits — brand, creative, and production materials supplied as part of the brief — are understood, distributed, and leveraged to their full potential across all contributing partners.
- Proactively identify and mitigate production risk throughout the pitch lifecycle, with a clear escalation path to the Global Technology Solutions Director where required.
- Maintain rigorous production documentation — schedules, status trackers, asset logs — ensuring full visibility across all stakeholders at all times.
- Lead daily stand-ups, collaborating closely with the Programme Manager, Creative Director, Creative Technologist, and development team.

Creative Partner & Stakeholder Management

- Build and maintain robust working relationships with creative agency partners, production consultants, and internal Publicis Production hubs across global markets.
- Manage external creative agency timelines robustly, anticipating delays and holding partners accountable to agreed milestones — recognising that the collaborative nature of pitch work requires influence and relationship management as the primary tools, with formal escalation available where necessary.
- Lead production-related meetings with internal and external stakeholders, acting as a confident, authoritative voice on all matters of production.
- Collaborate closely with client service, strategy, and technology teams to ensure production activity is fully aligned with pitch narrative and commercial objectives.

RFI / RFP Engagement

- Lead production input during early-stage RFI and RFP processes, providing feasibility assessment, resource scoping, and toolkit analysis to inform pitch strategy.
- Own the transition from advisory to active production lead as pitches progress from brief stage through to pitch demo, with a clear handoff plan at each stage gate.
- Orchestrate the production team and global studio network during live pitch demos, ensuring all production elements are executed seamlessly — you will not be responsible for presenting the technology solution directly.
- Partner with the Global Technology Solutions Director to scope production requirements and demonstrate Publicis Production's capabilities within pitch narratives.

Budgeting & Financial Management

- Prepare production cost estimates for pitch deliverables and manage budgets through to completion.
- Negotiate with suppliers and production partners, ensuring value is maximised without compromising quality or timeline.
- Maintain accurate financial tracking and provide regular budget updates to the Global Technology Solutions Director.

Production Execution

- Oversee all stages of production — pre-production, shoot, and post-production — as required by the pitch brief,



ensuring the creative vision is executed to an uncompromising standard.
- Leverage Publicis Production's global studio network and proprietary technology platforms to deliver efficiently and at scale across ATL, BTL, and TTL outputs.

Building the Function

- This is a founding role — you will inherit some existing processes and be expected to develop, formalise, and improve them, establishing the pitch production function as a centre of excellence within Publicis Production.
- Identify process gaps within the pitch production workflow and implement scalable improvements that reduce delivery risk and increase output quality.
- Stay current with industry trends, emerging production technologies, and best practices, sharing knowledge proactively across the pitch team.
- Champion the use of Publicis Production's technology capabilities — including Leona and Marcel Make — to optimise pitch output and demonstrate measurable value to prospective clients.

About You

Experience

- Minimum 7 years of integrated production experience, with a strong track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder productions end to end across ATL, BTL, and TTL.
- Background in a holding company, network agency, or major integrated agency is essential — you understand how large, matrixed organisations operate and how to navigate them effectively.
- Demonstrable experience coordinating across multiple creative agency partners simultaneously, ideally in a global or multi-regional context.
- Experience working on or supporting new business pitches is highly desirable.

Skills & Attributes

- Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing grip on quality or timeline.
- A rigorous eye for production quality — you hold yourself and others to the highest standard and understand what separates good work from exceptional work.
- Strong financial acumen — confident preparing cost estimates, managing budgets, and negotiating with suppliers.
- Excellent communicator — able to build trust quickly with creative partners and senior internal stakeholders, and to manage difficult conversations with confidence and tact.
- Proactive and solutions-oriented — you anticipate problems before they become crises and act decisively to resolve them.
- Comfortable operating autonomously as an individual contributor while knowing when to escalate through the appropriate channels.
- Genuine curiosity about production technology, AI-powered content, and the future of the creative industry — familiarity with DAMs, MRM, Content Automation, or DCO platforms is an advantage.
