Who We Are

With a history that dates back over 80 years, Starcom is a global communications planning and media leader. We are an agency still grounded in our founding principle that understanding people is at center of all we do. Each day, we apply this belief to harness the transformative power of data and technology to inspire individuals and move businesses forward.

Services

Understanding how to move people to move business forward requires a broad and sophisticated set of capabilities. We are always adding more depth and experience to what we do for our clients.

Human & Cultural Insights

We are consistently interrogating human behavior and culture – what people choose to do, and what motivates their choices. This ongoing, multi-faceted research fuels our ability to design experiences that resonate and plot precise data-informed consumer journeys.

Business Analytics

We’ve built our Advanced Analytics & Insights team around our clients’ most pressing needs: insights, measurement and data governance.

Solution Architecture

Marketing Technology investment and optimization remains a top priority for CMOs. Our Solutions Architecture practice provides unbiased consultation on how to maximize a brand’s budget, what types of platforms to deploy and the best partners to help meet their goals. Beyond consulting, our SAs can demonstrate the value of marketing technology investments and solve virtually any problem with a blend of tech know-how and creativity that is unrivaled in the industry.

Connections Planning

We leverage our deep understanding of behavior and platforms to resolve the tension that exists between what people need and expect and what a brand offers. Our agnostic, solution-neutral approach permeates everything we do.

Digital

Consumers have us in the palm of their hands. That’s why we’ve built a center of excellence around all elements of the digital experience. Our teams lead the industry in understanding both established and emerging digital technologies.

Marketplace Intelligence & Investment

As part of Publicis Media, we place one out of every three dollars in the U.S. media marketplace. This gives us a powerful line of sight to anticipate where the market is going, and where to find leverage and value. This also enables access to exclusive partnerships, as well as first-look opportunities from the most important media partners in the world.

Content, Sports Partnerships & Activation

Our content specialists are deeply connected to the entertainment and media partners who make content people love. Our sports marketing specialists go beyond licensing and league deals to deliver never-been-done-before sports partnerships that are truly game changing.

E-Commerce, CRM, Shopper Marketing

Our embedded e-commerce & retail media center of excellence has capabilities spanning omnichannel experiences, direct-to-consumer platforms and technology innovation.

Local Opportunity Optimization

A person’s local context often overwhelms their demographic profile when it comes to purchase behavior. We help our clients understand local market context with data backed precision, understanding of micro-cultures and the know-how to deliver results.
