Leo Burnett's distinctiveness lives on in client work

Leo Burnett remains the Publicis Groupe creative agency with the most scale and the largest creative heft. The proof of thriving client-agency relationships is often in the work. In 2019, a multitude of McDonald’s campaigns across APAC markets shone, but we were less enamoured with some Samsung campaigns preoccupied with launching product into space (and having it crash back down to earth again).  

Being tied-in with Publicis' integrated 'Power of One' business model meant it approached business challenges in 2019 collectively with other sister agencies, with a shared approach to innovation and employee diversity and development. 

So how well did Leo Burnett and its Publicis family fare in APAC in 2019?
