Omnicom and Interpublic's merger could create the world's largest advertising company, leading to $750 million in annual cost synergies and significant competitive advantages.
The planned acquisition, valued at around $13 billion, will see Omnicom shareholders owning 60.6% of the new entity, with a proforma revenue of $25.6 billion.
The merger is set to mark Omnicom's largest transaction to date, but it faces potential regulatory challenges due to competition in ad-buying markets.
Increasing competition from tech giants like Google and Meta highlights the need for traditional advertising agencies to evolve in the face of generative AI threats.
