Can someone explain this to me like a 5 year old?- Bayer, where the account was mostly held at BBDO/omnicom, is now all at IPG. Omnicom is taking over IPG? Is it a wash then? I would imagine clients are aware, right?

Probably they got a big discount. Then that discount will stay under omnicom.

It also includes media which was previously handled by WPP EssenceMedicom.

Now media will be handled by IPG/Omnicom.

I’m sure clients and the consultants knowing that Omnicom is acquiring IPG, knowing that BBDO/Omnicom has the creative, and maybe also wanted a fresh look at creative (FCB global lead the pitch especially creative and is supposedly will lead from a creative standpoint)
with all these factors put it all under review.

I’m sure the clients knew IPG/Omnicom were desperate to keep the creative but also win media, were able to negotiate really low fees for them to win it.

from what i gather at the start, IPG and Omnicom had to pitch against each other, when it all kicked off back in June.

like

Yep was on that pitch for a bit so can confirm

The clients are aware and even called out the acquisition in the press release announcing this win -

“We are excited for them to join with us on this journey and by the opportunity of what is possible when their planned combination with Omnicom is complete.”

Guess they got a good discount bundling all services - media, creative and production with IPG…
