Omnicom Media Group is the media division of Omnicom Group Inc. which is comprised of three major networks consisting of: OMD Worldwide the leading global media communications agency, which employs 10,000 professionals across 100 countries serving the world’s highest profile brands. OMD provides a focused range of services globally including communications strategy, media planning and buying, digital execution, content creation, entertainment marketing, sponsorship and brand analytics. PHD is known globally as an innovator in communications planning and buying across broadcast, print, digital, mobile, social and emerging media. PHD is today one of the most awarded media and communication agency networks with over 4,000 staff working in over 80 offices worldwide for global brands like Volkswagen Group, Unilever, Bentley, GSK, SC Johnson, Elizabeth Arden and Canon. Hearts & Science is a data-driven marketing agency. The agency uses data to create and nurture billions of personalized relationships between brands and people, ultimately growing clients businesses. Hearts & Science fosters an open, collaborative, and agile environments, with more than 300 employees across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. However, the trifecta of high profiled media networks that comprises OMG to OMI have been tumbling  according to the stock market, and hit it's biggest decline in nine years. The culprits are non-other than Google and Facebook. In today's ever-changing world of marketing strategies, many ad clients are shifting marketing dollars toward online media and have started to wipe away spending toward traditional advertising agencies, and in the "Valley of Silicon" both Google and Facebook are the dominate players. The Omnicom Group Incorporated stock closed last Tuesday at $70.69, down nearly 9.5 percent from Monday's close after the New York-based company posted weaker-than-expected revenue growth of 2 percent in the second quarter. To note, Goldman Sachs Group described the revenue slump as the worst growth in North America since the recession, helping send the shares on their sharpest intraday plunge since March 2009.
Paul Sweeney, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, stated "Ad-account losses and general uncertainty in U.S. digital media are dragging down Omnicom's organic revenue growth—a measure that excludes deals and currency fluctuations. North America accounts for more than half of the company's sales. Margins also are under pressure, despite efforts to focus on more profitable businesses. Omnicom's 2018 margin outlook is disappointing, with the company expecting stable margin even as it pruned its portfolio in 2017."
Mr John Wren has been President of Omnicom since 1996 and CEO since 1997. He also has served as a Director since 1993.  The Brooklyn-born executive has been part of the team that created Omnicom in 1986, two years after entering the advertising business as an executive vice president with Needham Harper Worldwide. He was appointed CEO of the Diversified Agency Services (DAS), division of Omnicom in 1990. Wren was recently selected as Chairman of the board on May 22, 2018.
"We believe that the transition towards digital is not impacting the company as much as the market expected in the last few years." added Sweeney
