Question · Q3 2025
David Karnofsky from JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked for confirmation on Omnicom's organic growth guidance for the full year and inquired about client interest and response to the combined Omnicom/Interpublic Group of Companies offering, even before the official merger.
Answer
CEO John Wren confirmed comfort with the original guidance range (2.5%-4.5%) and highlighted the significant impact of Q4 project work. He noted that excluding the prior year's Olympic and presidential election impacts, Q3 organic growth would have been approximately 4%. He also stated that clients are very positive about the combined offering, with encouraging feedback and no significant loss of people or business, despite pitching independently.
