The Truth About Global BrandsJune 11, 2026 1:12 PM
PR Newswire (US) Truth Is Everything: 72% of People Say It's More Important than Ever to Prioritize TruthResearch from McCann and Economist Enterprise reveals global growth will be driven by brands' ability to eliminate doubt and connect with the world's fastest-growing audience with ideas that move at the speed and flow of cultureNEW YORK, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann today released The Truth About Global Brands, a study of 20,713 people across 20 markets, revealing a fundamental reset in how brands achieve growth and relevance, globally. This year's study draws on independent insights from an analysis of B2B decision-makers conducted by Economist Enterprise, the B2B arm of The Economist Group. At a time when AI is reshaping decision-making, trust is fragmenting and cultural influence is shifting, the research finds that brands must help consumers navigate an increasingly complex "Truth Maze" by eradicating doubt to drive growth."Global brands are experiencing a growth crisis as we've shifted from a trust economy to a doubt economy, putting CMOs under more pressure than ever," said Tyler Turnbull, Global CEO, McCann. "The new playbook for the future of brand building will be grounded in a brand's ability to show up with clarity, credibility and cultural fluency at every decision point."The "Truth Maze": a New Battleground for Brands' Bottom LineIn a world flooded with information, consumers and business leaders are navigating a "Truth Maze:" a complex web of conflicting information, AI-generated content, and competing claims that has made it harder than ever to determine what is real.While 72% of people say it's more important than ever to prioritize truth, 55% believe brands are less truthful than they were 20 years ago76% worry they will soon be unable to distinguish between real people and artificial ones onlineWhile AI adoption is expected -- 72% of consumers and 88% of B2B leaders say brands must use AI to keep up -- accountability is what will set brands apart.53% of people say being transparent about AI use is the most effective way for brands to build trust, and 45% say brands should help them understand what's real and what isn't in AI-generated contentThe commercial stakes are high, with the research revealing that trust is not a soft brand value, but a revenue driver."In a world where truth matters more than ever, certainty is the new value exchange," said Harjot Singh, Global Chief Strategy Officer, McCann.A vast majority of people (80%) say they will actively choose brands they trust, even if they cost more, signaling a growing premium on credibility69% of consumers and 79% of B2B decision-makers have stopped using a brand because they no longer trusted it"The data tells a compelling story: when business leaders lose faith in a brand, they walk away and they don't come back easily," said Tamara McMillen, Chief Revenue Officer at Economist Enterprise. "What this means for global brands is that the commercial cost of doubt is real and measurable.

"It will come from brands that turn truth into a genuine growth engine, building connected systems of meaning, culture and commerce. That's what McCann's Truth Well Told framework is designed to do."The New Playbook for Global Brand Growth Across all findings, one principle stands out: the brands that succeed in 2026 and beyond will not be those that say the most, but those that remove the most doubt and connect with segments shaping tomorrow's demand.

Creo Debuts AI Solution for Real-Time Creator Content Editing, Reducing Costs and Time-to-Market While Ensuring Brand Compliance at ScaleApril 28, 2026 11:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)
New agentic tool from Omnicom Media's influencer marketing arm leverages Google's advanced models, including GeminiVeo and Nano Banana, to add post-production editing to Creo's suite of AI-powered creator discovery, briefing and vetting toolsNEW YORK, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Creo, the influencer marketing arm of Omnicom Media announced a collaboration with Google Cloud to transform the content creator lifecycle. This partnership introduces advanced post-production editing capabilities to Creo's suite of AI-powered tools, drastically reducing the time and cost associated with brand compliance in influencer channels.
By integrating Google Cloud's generative AI, Creo is evolving its Content Vetting Agent from a diagnostic tool into a proactive editing solution. Built on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, the tool now leverages the multimodal power of Gemini and Veo to analyze and instantly modify creator content.As brands scale influencer investments, ensuring content meets strict brand standards has become more complex and time-consuming, with traditional manual review processes slowing production times and limiting scalability. This new capability addresses that challenge by combining Gemini Enterprise and its advanced AI models from Google with Creo's proprietary influencer marketing platform to enable automated content analysis, real-time feedback, and seamless editing at the touch of a button."This is a breakthrough moment for influencer marketing," said Kevin Blazaitis, President, Creo. "For the first time, we're not just identifying issues in creator content - we're resolving them instantly, enabling our clients to move at the speed of culture while maintaining control and compliance."This first-mover capability represents the latest advancement in Creo's suite of AI-powered tools designed to accelerate the full creator lifecycle from discovery to activation. In addition to the Content Vetting Agent, the suite also includes the Creator Discovery Agent, which surfaces and vets creators aligned to brand objectives and the Creator Briefing Agent, which analyzes creator submissions against bespoke brand suitability guidelines and Creo best practices.How It WorksCreo's Content Vetting Agent - enabled by Gemini - evaluates submitted content, assigns a suitability score, and flags specific issues - such as the presence of restricted items (e.g., an alcoholic beverage in the background that violates brand guidelines).With the new enhancement, Creo takes this process a step further, enabling light-touch, non-substantive edits in real time—such as removing restricted objects, blurring logos, or adjusting wardrobe elements (e.g., changing a competitor's brand color to a neutral alternative).For regulated industries such as alcohol and gambling, the tool also ensures adherence to bespoke requirements, including persistent visibility of disclaimers like "Age 21+."Edited content is returned to creators within minutes for final approval, eliminating the need for costly and time-intensive reshoots while preserving the integrity of the creator's original storytelling."This collaboration with Creo brings our latest AI models directly into the creator workflow," said Tarun Rathnam, Director of AI & Cloud for Marketing at Google Cloud. "The integration empowers brands and creators to collaborate at the speed of culture, unlocking faster, higher-quality content production and near-instant automated refinements at scale."Delivering Measurable Impact for ClientsThe new capability delivers tangible benefits across cost, speed, and quality:Better Content: AI-driven screening using Gemini ensures alignment with brand, legal, and compliance standards, catching details that human review may miss.Faster Turnaround: Reduces content review and approval timelines by two-to-three days, with same-day turnaround now possible.Lower Production Costs: Eliminates additional creator revision fees, reshoot and editing costs.Operational Efficiency: Reduced time spent on manual review and coordination.The capability is currently available in the United States, with global expansion planned in Q3.CONTACT: Isabelle Gauvry

Omnicom Expands Adobe Partnership to Drive Industry-Specific AI-Powered Marketing TransformationApril 21, 2026 1:22 PM
PR Newswire (US)
Omnicom to Launch New Enterprise Agentic Operating Model Solution powered by Omni Across Retail, Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, and AutomotiveNEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At Adobe Summit, Omnicom (NYSE: OMC), the world's leading marketing and sales company, today announced an expansion of its long-standing global partnership with Adobe to co-develop an enterprise-grade, industry-specialized AI Agentic Operating Model solution. Omnicom will bring this solution to market by integrating Omni, its proprietary marketing and sales platform, and its agentic framework with Adobe's enterprise marketing and creative technology stack. Designed for global brands, the solution enables orchestration across strategy, creative development, planning, activation, and measurement at enterprise scale. Its component-based architecture can be rapidly deployed across specific use cases and is anchored by a client specific knowledge graph powered by Omni.The partnership directly addresses a market challenge: most AI marketing solutions remain disconnected point tools that lack enterprise governance, vertical specialization, and true orchestration. The Agentic Operating Model solves this by creating a unified, managed solution built on Adobe technology and designed specifically for Retail, Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, and Automotive enterprises.Over the next 12 months, Omnicom will design, architect, and operationalize the industry focused solution across five core use cases: end-to-end customer experience, omni channel planning, total creative workflow, .com, and email. The solution will feature seamless data exchanges between Adobe products, Omni's powerful connected platform layer and its agentic infrastructure, delivering predictive growth at enterprise scale.Omnicom's Precision Marketing Capability will lead the design, build, and operationalization of the Agentic operating model and development of new agents, delivering them as a managed service tailored to each vertical's specific workflows and governance requirements.Differentiated Approach to Enterprise AI AdoptionUnlike point solutions, this solution eliminates vendor fragmentation through a single branded offering sold directly to enterprises and managed as a service. The platform integrates Omnicom's specialized agency capabilities, providing deep vertical expertise and compliance frameworks critical to regulated industries, with Adobe's world-class content and data orchestration capabilities. Omni, powered by Acxiom Real ID's privacy-first identity foundation of 2.6 billion verified global IDs enriched with cultural, media, and commerce signals, further strengthens the ecosystem by accelerating audience activation and enabling sophisticated segmentation. This unified data layer flowing into Adobe Real-Time CDP solves cold-start challenges while providing a single source of truth across every team, from brief to activation."This expanded partnership fundamentally changes what's possible for CMOs today," said Luke Taylor, CEO, Omnicom Precision Marketing. "We're not bolting AI onto existing workflows, we're building production-ready systems for our clients that handle the full marketing journey, from strategy through measurement. By combining Adobe's platform, Omni's unified data layer and agentic capabilities, and our vertical expertise, we're delivering an agentic operating model that enterprise teams can actually trust and scale.""Our clients don't want another AI vendor adding complexity to their operations. They want systems built for enterprise reality: governance at scale, vertical specialization, and the ability to move from brief to activation without multiple tool switches," said Paolo Yuvienco, Chief Technology Officer at Omnicom. "This co-innovation with Adobe lets us deliver exactly that."Strategic Go-To-Market and OperationsOmnicom is establishing a Center of Excellence to operationalize the Agentic Operating Model solution, with comprehensive go-to-market acceleration across its four target verticals."This co-innovation brings together what enterprises need most: deep vertical expertise and a production-ready solution built for scale. By combining Adobe's technology with Omnicom's capabilities, we're enabling CMOs to deploy AI at scale and rapidly move from proof of concept to competitive advantage," said Stephen Frieder, Chief Revenue Officer, Enterprise, Adobe.The expanded partnership reflects Omnicom's commitment to advancing how agencies harness AI at enterprise scale.

OMNICOM MEDIA NAMED BEST PERFORMING GLOBAL MEDIA GROUP, EARNS #1 RANKING ACROSS ALL FOUR REGIONSMarch 26, 2026 11:22 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Latest RECMA Diagnostics Report Sees OM agency OMD Scoring Its 11th Consecutive #1 Ranking, with PHD, Initiative and UM All Earning Slots Among the Top Ten NEW YORK, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In the latest edition of the Network Diagnostics report from RECMA (Research Company Evaluating the Media Agency Industry), Omnicom Media, an Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) connected capability, been named the best performing global media group, topping both the global ranking as well as the regional rankings across North America, EMEA, APAC and LATAM.
As RECMA notes in its report, Omnicom Media – officially created in December 2025 by the integration of Omnicom Media Group and IPG Mediabrands - is "emerging as the new industry powerhouse." The leader in Activity Volume/Billings with approximately 30% industry share, Omnicom Media also leads this Diagnostic Report globally with just under 35% of quali-share (approximately 50% higher than the #2 ranked group).Concurrently, four of the top 10 best performing media agencies were Omnicom Media brands, including OMD (ranked #1 for the 11th consecutive report), PHD, Initiative and UM.Widely considered the most comprehensive report for analyzing media agency performance, the bi-annual RECMA Diagnostics report is based on the evaluation of approximately 700 agencies in 45 markets. Utilizing 19 KPIs to evaluate vitality and structure, the report offers an assessment index that goes beyond typical quantitative metrics such as new business wins or billings volume alone to also consider criteria such as client portfolio and relationship stability; digital, data & content resources; and homogeneity across geographies. Participating agencies are ranked both numerically by "quali-points" and by the following profiles: Dominant, High Profile, Very Good Profile, Good Profile, and Average Profile.The Dominant profile is awarded in a market where an agency significantly outperforms its competitors across multiple Diagnostic criteria. In the current report, Omnicom Media agency brands were dominant in 19 markets - more than any other media group – encompassing all four regions. "In creating Omnicom Media, the goal was never to simply be the biggest, but to use that scale intelligently to design the leading growth ecosystem for our clients. The comparison between our 30% volume share and almost 35% quali-share proves that scale can be multiplied when combined with industry leading capabilities and talent," says Omnicom Media CEO Florian Adamski. "The strength of that offer is reflected not only in Omnicom Media's #1 ranking globally and across every region - but also in the continued leadership of OMD and the strength of PHD, Initiative, and UM, speaks to the consistency, collaboration, and ambition of our teams worldwide.RECMA Ranking Caps an Impressive First Hundred DaysThe report lands as Omnicom Media recently marked its first 100 days, during which OM announced first-mover data partnerships with Amazon, Google, Meta, Roku, Pinterest, and Walmart; saw Omnicom's commerce capabilities receive the highest possible scores in the Forrester Commerce Services Wave evaluation; paved the way for more than 30 clients to participate in the launch of ChatGPT ads; and was awarded $5 billion in new business, wins, retentions, and expansions. In recent weeks, trade publications have reported Delta, Dyson, and streaming platform SkyShowtime entrusting their global media investment business to Omnicom Media.Says Adamski, "As we move beyond our first 100 days, these milestones reinforce our belief that growth by design - powered by Omnicom Media's unique advantages in scale data, identity, commerce and talent - will enable us to deliver outsized growth for our clients and define the future of our industry."OMD's Lock on #1 Holds for Historic 11th CycleDescribing OMD's 11th top ranking as representing a "very comfortable" lead vs. the #2 ranked agency, RECMA reported that OMD also showed the greatest consistency of its performance across the 45 markets studied, ranking Dominant or High Profile in 62% of all markets. Looking at diversified services, OMD was ranked #1 in North America and EMEA for Digital, Data and Content experts.In the July 2025 RECMA Overall Activity Volume (OAV) analysis that tracks billings volume for more than 800 agencies across 54 markets), OMD was once again ranked #1 by volume, with close to $USD 35.6 billion in total billings - outperforming its nearest competitor by $4.4 billion – and YoY growth of +9.5 %.ABOUT OMNICOM MEDIAOmnicom Media, an Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) Connected Capability, is the world's largest global media management network. Powered by the Omni Intelligence Platform, Omnicom Media agencies leverage $73.5 billion in billings, 40,000+ specialists across 70+ markets, and the industry's most powerful portfolio of Identity (Acxiom RealID™), Commerce (Flywheel), and Intelligence (Q™) assets to design dynamic Growth Ecosystems that enable the world's most ambitious businesses to grow faster and smarter.

Omnicom Agencies Dominate Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2026March 24, 2026 11:12 AM
PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicom (NYSE: OMC), the world's leading marketing and sales company, today announced five of its agencies have been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2026. Four agencies were recognized on the Advertising & Marketing list, more than any other holding company. Additionally, Weber Shandwick ranked #2 on the Public Relations and Brand Strategies list, topping the list for the third year in a row.Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list is the definitive source for recognizing the organizations that are transforming industries and shaping society. Having Omnicom agencies such as BBDO, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, MARTIN, and Weber Shandwick, recognized across sectors speaks to the depth and diversity of innovation happening throughout the company. The recognition reflects Omnicom's commitment to supporting the individuality of its agencies—empowering each to define and pursue innovation on its own terms while honoring their distinct cultures, talent, and perspectives.Recognizing the agencies' work and development through 2025 – the list celebrated those rethinking how they develop creative work, invest in talent, and build AI systems that help brands show up clearly in a fragmented world. At Goodby Silverstein & Partners, that meant a focus on "mass intimacy," using creativity to deliver broad reach with personal, emotional impact through culturally resonant campaigns for brands like Mountain Dew, Cheetos, and Doritos.Innovation also remained central to MARTIN, which continued its long evolution from a PR shop into a modern cultural agency, refining how it creates work, supports its people, and helps brands show up with clarity and consistency.Weber Shandwick continued to deepen its strategic role with clients, winning major new business including Mars and expanding seven-figure engagements, while also advancing the use of AI through proprietary tools and broad employee training.At BBDO, creativity was positioned as a driver of business growth and measurable impact. Guided by its mission to DO BIG THINGS, the agency strengthened its role as a business partner through cross-functional teams that test ideas against business metrics and help clients build enduring IP rather than one-off campaigns. FCB was also cited in the list for its category-defining campaigns driven by creative teams now primarily united with BBDO as part of the acquisition of Interpublic Group in late 2025."Having five Omnicom agencies recognized among Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies validates the exceptional talent and ingenuity within our company," said John Wren, Chairman and CEO, Omnicom. "We've always empowered our agencies to keep their individuality and culture while leveraging our collective intelligence, tools, and AI capabilities. The result is five completely different visions for 'innovation', but all with amazing results for our clients. I want to congratulate each of these agencies for their recognition and for their constant evolution that keeps them at the top of the industry."To learn more, visit Fast Company.This recognition follows another significant industry validation. Last week, WARC named Omnicom the #1 holding company for effectiveness in its Effective 100 ranking. The ranking recognizes the world's most awarded campaigns and companies for delivering tangible business impact.About Omnicom

The addition of Flywheel established Omnicom as one of the world's largest buyers of retail media, with more than $10 billion of retail media under management. Access to Flywheel Commerce Cloud – the largest digital transaction dataset – solidified Omnicom's position as a global leader in connected commerce experiences across hundreds of retailers and digital marketplaces, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Alibaba, and more.

The transaction provided access to Acxiom Real ID™, the largest and most ethically sourced identity in the industry spanning 2.6 billion verified global IDs. Omnicom further enhances this identity with trillions of media, content, cultural, and commerce signals – including those from Flywheel Commerce Cloud – as well as the industry's most advanced ID-less solutions.

Together, these capabilities position Omnicom as a commerce powerhouse that helps clients accelerate into the rapidly expanding digital commerce and retail media sectors.The Forrester evaluation noted that Omnicom's "vision of connected commerce differentiates by spanning both demand and loyalty across physical stores, online marketplaces, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) experiences. Co-innovation with partners like Adobe and Salesforce is at scale within a broad partner network, including with retail partners like Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Walmart.""Our ranking in this Forrester Wave™ confirms Omnicom's leadership in commerce services," said John Wren, Chairman and CEO of Omnicom.
