Omnicom has completed its acquisition of The Interpublic Group, forming what it calls the world’s most comprehensive marketing and sales company, following all regulatory approvals and closing requirements. The unified organization brings together a broad portfolio of capabilities powered by Omni, Omnicom’s advanced intelligence platform designed to integrate data, creativity, technology, and talent for next-generation growth strategies. Calling it “a defining moment for our company and our industry,” Chairman and CEO John Wren said, “With the completion of the deal, Omnicom is setting a new standard for modern marketing and sales leadership — creating stronger brands, delivering superior business outcomes, and driving sustainable growth.”

The combined company will exceed $25 billion in pro forma revenue. It will keep trading under the OMC ticker on the NYSE. According to the agreement, Interpublic shareholders got 0.344 Omnicom shares for each IPG share. This results in 60.6% ownership by former Omnicom shareholders and 39.4% by former Interpublic shareholders. Leadership continuity remains central, with Wren as Chairman & CEO, Phil Angelastro as EVP & CFO, and Philippe Krakowsky and Daryl Simm as Co-Presidents and COOs, alongside new board additions from Interpublic.
