Lévy joined Publicis in 1971, as the Director of IT. He very quickly moved into the heart of the agency's business: advertising and marketing. Recognizing that top clients require a full range of communications services, he began to build up a comprehensive group of specialized and general service agencies and subsidiaries in France and throughout Europe.
Lévy oversaw the Groupe’s international development, leading an expansion program that extended Publicis Groupe's operations to 108, where it offers clients communication, marketing and media services.
He became Chairman of Publicis Conseil, the founding agency of the Groupe, in 1984, and was later named CEO of Publicis Groupe in 1987, thus becoming the company's second CEO since 1926, after Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet.
Lévy launched the annual technology conference, Viva Technology, in 2016 and has continued to lead the following editions.
In 2017, Lévy replaced Elisabeth Badinter as chairman of the supervisory board and was succeeded as CEO by Arthur Sadoun.
