Omnicom Uses AI to Cut Ad‑Tech Middlemen
Omnicom told investors on its Q1 2026 earnings call that it plans to divest assets representing about $3.2 billion in annual revenue (up from a prior $2.5 billion estimate) following its $13.5 billion acquisition of IPG completed five months earlier. The company said roughly $1 billion of those non-core assets were disposed of during Q1 and excluded those businesses from its "core operations" reporting. Core operations revenue was $5.6 billion in Q1 (up 6% versus combined Omnicom/IPG Q1 2025); organic revenue grew 3.9% year‑on‑year and adjusted EBITDA rose 27%. Omnicom targets $1.5 billion of cost-reduction synergies by mid‑2028, including $900 million in 2026, and has merged or sunset more than 20 major agency brands. Management also described progress on an internal AI platform, Omni, and said it has moved from testing to live "agentic" or agent‑to‑agent media buying to shorten the media supply chain and build more direct publisher relationships.
