Following the historic completion of Omnicom’s acquisition of Interpublic Group on November 26, 2025, the world’s largest advertising network has begun formalising its global and India-specific blueprint. The combined organisation will operate under the Omnicom banner, led globally by Chairman & CEO John Wren, who is now overseeing the unification of IPG’s capabilities into a single, intelligence-led creative and marketing powerhouse.
As the consolidation brings multiple agency brands under fewer networks, an important question emerges: Will this strengthen brands or create new challenges? In several cases, competing brands may now sit within the same network, raising concerns about conflict management and prioritisation. With legacy agencies like DDB Mudra, MullenLowe, and FCB exiting as standalone entities, long-standing client–agency relationships also face disruption.
Many brand teams, accustomed to working with familiar creative partners, may be uncertain about whether the new consolidated teams will understand their vision, retain the same depth of category knowledge, or manage day-to-day operations with the same continuity as before.
