The Space

Now that we’ve helped Maurice Lévy move out of his office in this year's #WhatsNext wishes video, we’re ready to hand you the keys to his prestigious Champs Elysées office, located all the way up on the 6th floor of the iconic Publicis building.

His corner office was formerly used as Headquarters of General Eisenhower, so not only is it home to some of the most important deals in history, but Eisenhower probably also did some work here. And now it is your turn to step into history, along with a companion of your choice.

Around the clock – Your Executive Day.
To make sure you don’t miss any deadlines, a private chauffeur will pick you up and drive you directly to the office, where your bodyguard, professional photographer and personal assistant await you. The day starts off with a briefing on your painfully long to-do-list, while you have breakfast on the 560 m2 (6,027 sq ft.) rooftop terrace, with a view of Paris only obstructed by the colossal Arc de Triomphe.

First task of the day is a crash-course in leadership. Tough, but crucial when you run a company filled with hard working people - and creatives too.

Leading can be tiresome, so it’s finally time for a short break and a quick bite. You’ll be accompanied up to the Publicis private dining room to enjoy a luxurious lunch. And as everyone knows, it is practically impossible to work right after a meal, so after lunch, head downstairs for a private screening in the plush leather chairs of Publicis’ very own movie theater.

In a fast-paced life it’s crucial to unwind once in a while, so we’ve booked you a private meditation session to help you stay calm in your new life.

After all that hard work, you’ve probably got quite the appetite. As time is of the essence, you’ll have to settle for the closest restaurant: the Michelin-starred L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, located in Publicis building, where you will be treated to the tasting menu.

Exhausted after a long day it’s finally time to rest. Your chauffeur will drive you to a beautiful apartment nearby where you can get a good night’s sleep, knowing you won’t have another tough day as CEO tomorrow.

...Okay, maybe this is not exactly a day in the life of Maurice Lévy, but since you only get one day as an executive, we want to make it extra special.

The Entry:
Such a big day ahead does not allow for indecisiveness, so tell us: what you would do with a day in the office of Maurice Levy? Tell us by 11:59pm CET on 22nd December 2016, comply with the contest rules, and you could spend a day in the office of a CEO at the top of the ad world.
