OMNICOM ENDING FREELANCE BY JUNE 2026
Just heard it now. FL in hub cities will get FTE offers and freelancers not in a hub city will not be extended past June. LA, Chicago, NY. It was inevitable. Looking for new contracts as of 2 hours go.

Gross. Very on-brand.

Omnicom is like one of those parasitic fungi that take over an ant's brain, giving it the appearance of life even for a little bit after it's really just a dead shell. The ad industry being the zombie ant.

Yeah can confirm they expect people in office 3x a week (even freelancers) but I doubt they won’t ever need a freelancer ever again for none FTE coverage like a maternity leave or a pitch.

I heard that they’ll limit creative freelancers to 500 hours. What I’m not clear about is whether this is per year or if it triggers a 90 day washout period.

Is this like creative freelance or all freelance ?

Contingent workforce not in hub cities will not be extended. Contingent workforce in hub cities should have been offered FTE by now or soon. They want everyone in office 3x week.

Omnicom is as much a real estate company as they are an advertising company

That’s really really great. Really great.

Where did you hear this from? Source?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Is booking 40hrs a week freelancing for one company a good idea? Or does that seem like you don’t have anything else going on? I would like a good work life balance with the ability to take off weeks at a time in the middle of all this.
