• WedgeGlobal media consolidation to Publicis (May 2024) means Taiwan media is in implementation/transition phase — local activation rosters still being shaped
• WhyDirect competitors in TW: Estée Lauder Companies (just consolidated to WPP globally), Shiseido Group (mixed roster), LVMH Beauty (Sephora + brand DTC), Amorepacific (Korean), local players (Naruko, Dr.Wu). L'Oréal vs. Estée Lauder is now a clean Publicis-vs-WPP proxy war in beauty media globally.

• Direct competitors in TW: Estée Lauder Companies (just consolidated to WPP globally), Shiseido Group (mixed roster), LVMH Beauty (Sephora + brand DTC), Amorepacific (Korean), local players (Naruko, Dr.Wu). L'Oréal vs. Estée Lauder is now a clean Publicis-vs-WPP proxy war in beauty media globally.
• LOW AND DECLINING. L'Oréal globally moved media from WPP to Publicis in May 2024 — the consolidated global Power of One model now sits with Publicis Groupe bespoke unit (Publicis One / Starcom). This is a structural loss for WPP — Mindshare and Wavemaker previously held significant L'Oréal regional business. WPP retains some creative/digital project work via Ogilvy and AKQA on individual brand briefs but the strategic media seat is gone. Taiwan-side: Publicis Groupe's bespoke unit is the standing AOR; Starcom Taiwan and Publicis One Taiwan execute. Defending or re-winning L'Oréal Taiwan requires either (a) division-level wedge (one brand division dissatisfied with Publicis activation), (b) Beauty Tech/digital scope outside core media, or (c) a future re-pitch cycle 3-5 years out.
