Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment that truly reflects our global and local communities, and the marketplaces we help our clients serve. It is important to us that our people and our work product encompass and express diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

This is part of OPMG’s commitment to supporting the growth and development of BIPOC talent through direct educational investment. Scholarship funds are to be used for tuition, fees, books, and other associated expenses related to enrollment and will be distributed in January 2022 for 2022 tuition and fees.

Employee Experience Highlights

Omnicom Creative Jam powered by Adobe
Creative Jam
  • Omnicom and Adobe recently partnered to sponsor a DE&I-focused Hackathon in February & March 2021.
  • The brief was simple: design and prototype app-based ideas that support Omnicom’s OPEN 2.0 action plan to create a more equitable and inclusive employee experience.
  • We had 20 teams, consisting of 100+ employees from 11 agencies within the Omnicom Precision Marketing Group and our sister division, the Omnicom Advertising Collective (OAC), participate and compete, including teams from the US, Canada and the UK.

  • The Idea: It’s Time for an Open Market.

    • Summary: Diversity, equity and inclusion isn’t rooted in intention, it’s rooted in action. That’s why we created a platform where we can support and amplify under-represented voices in the industry. Search for talent, collaborate with like-minded people, find a new job, compare salaries and more – all within the Open Market.

  • We are evaluating the best way to bring this idea (and others) to life in conjunction with the larger OPEN 2.0 plan.
