17269: New Omnicom Leads The Status Quo.

Adweek, Advertising Age, and other trade publications reported on reshuffled leadership at the new Omnicom after its acquisition of IPG, featuring executives selected from both present and pruned White holding companies.

 

The headshots (depicted above) display moderate DEIBA+ and divertsity.

 

Not surprisingly, the performative PR has no inclusion of a leading Chief Diversity Officer or Human Heat Shield—although the updated Omnicom website features a Global Chief Inclusion and Impact Officer who has been with the White holding company for roughly five years.

 

So, it looks like DEIBA+ decisions were quietly executed.

 

Did redundancy rejiggering reduce non-White representation overall, as well as diminish the number of Dawn Chambers within Omnicom, accelerating the unemployment challenges impacting US Black women?

 

This would constitute a DEIBA+ fail, no?

 

Welcome to Omnicom: The world’s leading marketing and sales company. Which looks like all White holding companies comprised of White advertising agencies.
