Publicis Media announces move to former BBC TV Centre

Publicis Media announced its new West London home today, as it plans to move its six media agency brands and 2,000 staff into the BBC’s former HQ.

Each agency brand – including Starcom, Zenith and Digitas – will occupy a separate floor, totalling 212,000 square feet.

The move will allow each brand easy access to the services offered by the company’s expert practices and support functions.

“The space will provide our people and our clients with the expertise and agility that such a proposition provides by bringing together the brand and practice model in one location,” said Sue Frogley, CEO, Publicis Media UK.

The other agencies making the move include Spark Foundry, Blue 449 and Performics.

Publicis aims to complete the move by the second quarter of 2019.
