An unpaid leave is often, and in more ways than one, simply unafordable.

The short documentary was directed by Emmy Award winner Raquel Marvez and takes poetic look at the lives of three women as they navigate the phone calls, trials, and repercussions of a single sick day.

 With the help of a special guest, Michael Douglas, Maurice Levy and Arthur Sadoun put the spotlight on HPV-related cancer. 2022 has been a stellar year for Publicis on every front. But rather than celebrate those achievements, the group is leveraging the impact of its annual Wishes film to drive awareness around the Human Papilloma Virus. Despite the fact that 80% of all adults will contract HPV at some point in their lives, for far too long cancers related to this virus have been hidden, shushed, stigmatized. They have therefore become a pervasive silent killer. This is a particularly personal theme for Publicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun as he was diagnosed and treated for HPV-related cancer earlier this year. VIEW THE SPOT

 In the world of online gaming, thousands of women face a major obstacle: they cannot compete with an open microphone. If the other players hear a female voice, it makes the game impossible for them to play. Women in gaming become victims of insults and belittling of all kinds even being excluded them from the game by opponents and teammates alike. This has a big impact on players who want to have fun, and especially on those who want to become professionals. Under these abusive conditions, their performance suffers and their chances of moving up the rankings become much more complicated. VIEW OUTDOOR
