About
Historically one of the top global creative agency networks, consistently ranked among the world's most awarded agencies before its retirement into BBDO under Omnicom Group in H1 2026.
FCB (Foote, Cone & Belding) is a global full-service advertising agency network with roots dating back to 1873, making it one of the oldest and most established agencies in the world. The agency offers a comprehensive suite of services including brand strategy, creative development, media planning and buying, digital marketing, data analytics, and integrated communications. FCB operates across more than 100 countries and is known for producing culturally resonant, award-winning campaigns for major global brands across virtually every industry vertical. FCB became a subsidiary of Omnicom Group when the Omnicom-Interpublic Group merger closed on November 26, 2025. Per Omnicom's post-merger consolidation announcement, the FCB brand is scheduled to be retired in H1 2026, with FCB's operations folding into TBWA Worldwide (Omnicom's consolidation reduces global advertising networks to three: TBWA, McCann, and BBDO). The network has consistently ranked among the top creative agencies globally, earning recognition at major industry awards shows including Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, and the Effie Awards. FCB's approach combines deep consumer insights with bold creative execution, positioning itself as a partner for brands seeking both brand-building and performance-driven outcomes. In the modern AdTech ecosystem, FCB has evolved beyond traditional advertising to embrace data-driven marketing, programmatic capabilities, and technology-enabled creative solutions. The agency works with blue-chip clients including major consumer packaged goods companies, financial services firms, healthcare brands, and retail giants, leveraging IPG's broader technology and data infrastructure, including Acxiom and Kinesso, to deliver precision marketing at scale.
