UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The acquisition aims to create the largest global advertising agency and realize $750 million in cost savings, with the Federal Trade Commission approving a consent order to proceed.

  • On July 17, 2025 in New York, Omnicom and Interpublic announced ACCC clearance, securing 14 of 18 antitrust approvals for a H2 2025 close.
  • Last month the Federal Trade Commission approved a consent order barring politically motivated ad boycotts, bringing the deal closer to approval in the U.S. advertising market.
  • Omnicom executives said the deal in June is on track to realize $750 million in cost savings and create the world's largest agency, with post-close scaling of data offerings like Kinesso and Acxiom.
