Publicis Groupe Africa has appointed Jarred Trembath as Head of Influential, Sub-Saharan Africa, as the group strengthens its creator marketing capabilities and expands its integrated approach to influencer-driven campaigns across the region.
Trembath brings 15 years of experience across the EMEA region spanning paid media, performance marketing, creator marketing and business leadership. According to the company, he will continue to lead Publicis Groupe Africa’s Performance B2B and Affiliate Marketing capabilities while driving the growth and evolution of its Influential offering.
Influencer marketing has become one of the fastest-growing media channels globally, with brands increasingly demanding measurable business results from creator partnerships rather than focusing solely on content creation and audience engagement.
Publicis Groupe Africa said the industry is moving beyond traditional influencer metrics such as creators, followers, reach and organic campaigns towards a more data-driven model built around audience intelligence, artificial intelligence-powered planning, paid media integration, commerce and measurable outcomes.
Influential is part of Publicis Groupe Africa’s wider Connected Media proposition, which combines AI-powered audience intelligence, ConnectedID deterministic identity, first-party data and cross-channel measurement to help brands better understand and engage their audiences.
The company said the key differentiator is the integration of creator marketing with AI, audience intelligence, identity, data, media and measurement capabilities within the Publicis ecosystem.
Publicis added that its approach begins with audience identity and data, helping brands identify the communities that influence consumer behaviour before selecting creators who can authentically connect with those audiences.
"Creator marketing is evolving from a standalone communications channel into a measurable growth driver powered by data, technology and intelligence," says Ashish Williams, Senior Vice President of Media at Publicis Groupe. "At Publicis Groupe Africa, we are focused on integrating creator capabilities within our broader Connected Media ecosystem, enabling brands to connect creativity, audience intelligence, commerce and measurement in a way that delivers meaningful business outcomes."
"Jarred's appointment reflects our commitment to building future-fit capabilities that help our clients navigate this evolving landscape with greater precision and impact," adds Williams.
"The creator economy has matured beyond a content-led discipline. We're entering an era where influencer marketing is becoming one of the most accountable and intelligent media channels in the marketing mix," says Jarred Trembath, Head of Influential SSA.
"At Publicis Groupe Africa, we're redefining how brands connect with people by combining AI, audience intelligence, data and tech and creator expertise within a single integrated ecosystem," concludes Trembath. "This enables us to identify the creators who genuinely influence culture and connect those relationships to measurable business outcomes. The future of influencer marketing will be defined by who can connect intelligence, media and creativity to drive real business growth."
