About

One of the world's top-tier global media agency groups, managing tens of billions in media billings annually as a division of Interpublic Group

IPG Mediabrands was the media investment and innovation arm of Interpublic Group (IPG). Following Omnicom’s acquisition of IPG (completed November 26, 2025), IPG Mediabrands was retired as a parent structure and its agencies — including UM, Initiative, and Mediahub — moved into Omnicom Media. IPG Mediabrands no longer operates as an independent media group; its capabilities were absorbed into Omnicom Media, the media division of Omnicom Group.
