With a presence spanning over 62 offices in 26+ countries and a team of more than 24,000 professionals, Publicis Sapient’s regional expertise is a cornerstone of its ability to drive measurable impact for clients worldwide.

From its London hub, Publicis Sapient has been a catalyst for digital transformation across the UK for more than three decades. The company’s client portfolio includes three of the four top retail banks, leading automotive manufacturers, consumer brands, international airports, and national energy providers. This breadth of experience is matched by a commitment to delivering tangible results—such as helping Nationwide Building Society save £4 million while enhancing customer experience through the innovative Speed Layer solution.

Publicis Sapient’s UK team is also recognized for its social impact initiatives, including the ‘Sending Machine’—a contactless donation device that ensures food banks receive exactly what they need, when they need it. Leadership in the UK, exemplified by figures like Scott Criddle and Sudeepto Mukherjee, fosters a culture of continuous innovation and partnership. Accolades such as Excellence in Customer Experience with British Gas and Best Website with Ninety One highlight the team’s ability to deliver both operational efficiency and outstanding customer engagement.

In the DACH region—Germany, Austria, and Switzerland—Publicis Sapient’s offices in Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich are deeply embedded in the local business landscape. The company’s teams help clients navigate complex regulatory environments and shifting market expectations, drawing on a blend of global best practices and local market insight.

A standout example is the transformation of European DataWarehouse, which became one of the first Securitisation Repositories under ESMA regulations with Publicis Sapient’s support. This achievement underscores the company’s expertise in financial services and compliance-driven innovation. By leveraging partnerships with technology leaders such as Microsoft and AWS, Publicis Sapient delivers solutions in cloud infrastructure, data management, and AI—ensuring clients in the DACH region are equipped to lead in their industries.
