2026 should be fun for Omnicom folk:

Omnicom has increased its expected annual cost synergies to about $1.5 billion, up from an earlier target of roughly $750 million.

The company expects around $900 million of those savings in 2026, largely from labor reductions, streamlined operations, and real-estate consolidations.

About $1 billion of the savings relate to labor cost cuts, including eliminating duplicate roles and outsourcing/offshoring some work.

sure would be nice if they tried to hit cost savings with ditching real estate and all that overhead instead of employees!

gotta hire juniors for the mentor chain to work :(

they stopped pretending they can increase revenue. This is pure cost cutting and an admission they’re in a mature growth stage with few new business opportunities. These executives are basically admitting defeat.

A company is literally nothing without its people. Think of the massive brainpower and knowledge they're cutting at scale. Omnicom is very publicly becoming dumber and cheaper.
