About

Formerly one of the world's largest media agency holding groups, now absorbed into Omnicom Media following the IPG-Omnicom merger in 2025.

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.
