What Hearts & Science does

Hearts & Science operates an agency services model. It creates value by advising brands on where and how to spend marketing budgets, executing those buys across channels, and providing measurement, modelling and strategic consulting to improve performance. The business benefits from combining service labour, analytical capabilities and access to parent-network buying scale, allowing it to win larger multi-service advertiser relationships and deepen account value over time.

Category differentiation

Hearts & Science is a media agency brand, not a standalone adtech software vendor or consumer media publisher. It should be distinguished from independent analytics platforms because its core offer is managed agency services.

Strategic context

AI-supported assessment from the existing company research; distinguish interpretation from sourced facts.

Hearts & Science is a media agency within Omnicom Media Group that provides managed services across media planning, media buying, paid search, paid social, analytics, marketing science, CRM-related programmes, content marketing and strategic consulting. Its offer is aimed at advertiser brands and senior marketing teams that want media strategy, activation and measurement tied together through a single agency relationship. The company makes money primarily from agency fees linked to planning, buying, analytics and consulting engagements, with additional economics likely tied to managed media spend and buying scale within the Omnicom network. Its customers are business buyers rather than consumers, especially enterprise marketing organisations seeking cross-channel campaign execution and performance accountability.

Company news briefing

Briefing updated:

Following its merger with Mediahub to form Hearts United, the consolidated Omnicom agency has launched its new global corporate brand site and visual identity. Operating across 40 markets with $9.1 billion in billings, the network has finalised key leadership appointments, including Dominik Scholta heading the German business alongside Ross Jenkins leading EMEA. This integration, aligned with Omnicom's post-IPG-merger rationalisation, solidifies the group's transition toward a unified, technology-driven marketing platform.

Business model & monetisation

The company primarily monetises through service-based commercial models: retainers for ongoing agency relationships, project fees for consulting and analytics engagements, and compensation linked to media planning and buying scopes. Revenue is also supported by spend-based fees or percentage-of-media arrangements on managed media activity, alongside specialist fees for marketing science, data modelling, reporting and strategic advisory work.

    M&A · Recorded impact score: 3/5

    Omnicom is reorganizing parts of Omnicom Media by integrating Kinesso and Annalect into the unit and consolidating its media agencies Mediahub and Hearts & Science into a single, currently unnamed international agency under Global CEO Florian Adamski. The company describes the change as a reorganisation of capabilities that preserves talent and expertise; Nicole Estebanell will lead the merged U.S. agency while Ross Jenkins becomes CEO for EMEA, and Australia will continue to run both agencies separately. The consolidation will affect Germany, where Omnicom Media lists multiple networks and more than 2,500 employees across seven locations. The move leaked before a formal announcement, industry observers (including Ryan Kangisser of Mediasense) expect further holding-company consolidation, and a concrete integration plan is expected to be finalised in August 2026.
