"Commerce media is becoming a specialty in the media marketplace, and Flywheel is quite adept at it, being one of the largest, if not the largest, buyers of media on Amazon. But it wasn't spent in the way that we think about traditional reach and frequency. They optimize and maximize that media more like a hedge fund would with investment dollars."
"The move within Omnicom illustrates that Omnicom is aggressively pursuing the ability to tie closed loop attribution together of the Flywheel commerce and purchase and sales signals with upper funnel audience signals on which Omnicom Media trades."
Omnicom restructured its organizational units by moving Flywheel, its commerce media platform acquired in 2023, under Omnicom Media global CEO Florian Adamski's control. Simultaneously, Omni, the holdco's operating system connecting all units to data and intelligence, also moved into Omnicom Media. Christine Gambino was promoted to oversee Omni, replacing Duncan Painter, while Alex McCord transitioned from Flywheel CEO to head of Omnicom Commerce. Industry analysts suggest this reorganization aims to leverage Flywheel's outcomes-driven commerce expertise and optimize media investment like a hedge fund manages capital, integrating closed-loop attribution between commerce purchase signals and upper funnel audience data.
