COMvergence H1 2026: Publicis Media führt globales New-Business-Ranking an

Laut den aktuellen COMvergence-Zahlen für das erste Halbjahr 2026 hat sich Publicis Media an die Spitze des globalen Total-New-Business-Rankings der Big-5-Media-Holding-Groups gesetzt. Das Netzwerk generierte ein Neugeschäftsvolumen von insgesamt 3,24 Milliarden US-Dollar und verwies damit die Kernwettbewerber auf die nachfolgenden Plätze. Auf Rang zwei folgt die Omnicom Media Group mit einem akquirierten Volumen von 3,15 Milliarden US-Dollar, während WPP Media mit 2,98 Milliarden US-Dollar den dritten Platz belegt. Die Halbjahresbilanz spiegelt den anhaltend intensiven Konsolidierungs- und Pitch-Wettbewerb im globalen Agenturmarkt wider, in dem datengetriebene Mediastrategien, technologische Skalierung sowie integrierte Commerce- und Retail-Media-Lösungen zentrale Entscheidungskriterien für Großkunden darstellen. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen zugleich die engen Abstände an der Marktspitze, während Media-Holdings ihre Wertschöpfungsketten angesichts makroökonomischer Herausforderungen und digitaler Transformation weiter anpassen müssen.

Agency-Client Relationship Under Review in Germany

German advertisers are fundamentally questioning their collaboration models with media agencies, considering which tasks to handle in-house. This shift puts pressure on agencies to reassess their value propositions and revenue streams. The trend towards in-housing is accelerating, as seen in recent developments like IKEA's mega-pitch, which signals a broader industry move towards more flexible, integrated agency-client relationships. Agencies must adapt by offering more strategic, data-driven services and demonstrating clear ROI to retain clients.
