In November Publicis and food retailer Carrefour CARR.PA announced a planned media joint venture in Europe and Latin America. "We haven't noticed a change in the behaviour of our customers due to inflation," Chief Executive Arthur Sadoun told reporters on a call after Thursday's results. In contrast with recent heavy job cuts by big technology companies, Publicis intends to continue hiring to support its growth, finance chief Michel-Alain Proch told analysts.
