Omnicom to Cut 4000 Jobs, Retire FCB, DDB, and More

Omnicom Announces Major Job Cuts and Agency Restructuring

Omnicom revealed a new organizational structure and leadership team shortly after finalizing its $13.5 billion acquisition of Interpublic Group. As part of this significant transformation, the company plans to cut around 4,000 jobs.

Agency Retirements and Integrations

In this overhaul, Omnicom will retire some of its longstanding agencies—FCB, DDB, and MullenLowe. The changes aim to streamline operations and consolidate brands under fewer banners to enhance efficiency and client service.

“We are embarking on a new chapter focused on simplifying our agency model and aligning our resources to better serve our clients,” said an Omnicom spokesperson.

Strategic Focus and Leadership Changes

The restructuring includes appointing a refreshed leadership team to guide the merged entity through this integration phase and future growth. This reflects Omnicom’s commitment to adapt quickly following the acquisition to strengthen its market position.


This restructuring marks a bold step for Omnicom, cutting thousands of jobs and retiring iconic agencies to refine its approach amid a major industry merger.
