The proposed merger between Omnicom and Interpublic Group illustrates the consolidation of a challenged advertising sector, affirming that the future of advertising is increasingly tied to data and AI.
Industry insiders note that a larger entity may wield more bargaining power in dealing with clients and navigating the competitive landscape dominated by Big Tech and AI advancements.
This merger could lead to inevitable job cuts as the companies aim to create efficiencies in a sector that is rapidly evolving due to technological disruption.
The merger's size, projected revenues exceeding $25 billion, could help Omnicom-IPG compete with Publicis, especially as they focus on leveraging AI and data for their services.
