Management highlights that the combined entity is delivering strong growth and synergies, validating the strategic rationale for the acquisition.

Omnicom is integrating IPG's operations, realizing synergies and driving growth, directly impacting IPG's former business units.

Despite the media agency merger, Omnicom expects to deploy significant cost synergies ($1bn labor, $240m real estate) across 2026, and is also shrinking the portfolio by selling/ exiting $3.2bn of lower-margin revenue (~10% margin) businesses, which will disproportionately boost the consolidated margin. — This explains a potentially structurally higher operating margin and quality of growth for the combined company versus competitors as low-margin, low-growth businesses like experiential and execution/support are exited.
