Latest RECMA Diagnostics Report sees OM agency OMD scoring its 12th consecutive #1 ranking, with PHD and Initiative ranked in the top five

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In the latest edition of the Network Diagnostics report from RECMA (Research Company Evaluating the Media Agency Industry), Omnicom Media, an Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) Connected Capability, has again been named the best performing global media group, topping both the global ranking as well as the regional rankings across North America, EMEA, APAC and LATAM.  This marks the second consecutive report in which Omnicom Media has topped the Network Diagnostics report’s global and regional rankings.

As RECMA notes in its report, Omnicom Media “is emerging as the new industry powerhouse.”  The leader in Activity Volume/Billings with approximately 30% industry share, Omnicom Media also leads this Diagnostic Report with just under 35% of quali-share.

Widely considered the most comprehensive report for analyzing media agency performance, the bi-annual RECMA Diagnostics report is based on the evaluation of approximately 700 agencies in 45 markets. Utilizing 19 KPIs to evaluate vitality and structure, the report offers an assessment index that goes beyond typical quantitative metrics such as new business wins or billings volume alone to also consider criteria such as client portfolio and relationship stability; digital, data & content resources; and homogeneity across geographies. Participating agencies are ranked both numerically by “quali-points” and by the following profiles: Dominant, High Profile, Very Good Profile, Good Profile, and Average Profile.

The Dominant profile is awarded in a market where an agency significantly outperforms its competitors across multiple Diagnostic criteria.  In the current report, Omnicom Media agency brands were dominant in 19 markets – more than any other media group – encompassing all four regions.  

“These results are a powerful validation that our Growth by Design strategy – built on the simple premise of bringing together our singular advantages in scale, data, identity, commerce, and talent to create a competitive advantage for our clients – is working,” says Omnicom Media CEO Florian Adamski.  “Leading RECMA’s global and all four regional rankings for the second consecutive time since the integration of Omnicom and IPG’s media groups, and with three agencies among the global top five, demonstrates the strength of our connected capabilities and our ability to consistent translate them into outsize growth for the world’s leading brands.”  

The RECMA ranking lands amidst a winning streak for Omnicom Media, which in October alone won the media business for The Coca-Cola Company in North America; grocery retailer Lidl across Europe; the global assignment for Lavazza coffee; The British Council; and the L’Oréal business in the DACH region. Adding this 30-day sprint to a 2026 global and regional win record that already included Adidas, Aviva, CVS, Delta, Dyson, IBM, Novo Nordisk, Uber, and Xiaomi brings Omnicom Media’s YTD total to approximately US$10 billion in billings won or retained through competitive pitches, more than any other holding company.

Omnicom Media Agencies Dominant the Top Five

Three Omnicom Media agencies – OMD, PHD and Initiative – were among the top five best performing global media agencies, with OMD topping the ranking for the 12th consecutive report.

OMD also stood out as the most balanced agency in terms of performance across the 45 countries studied, ranked as Dominant or High Profile in 29 markets (65% of those evaluated); and was ranked #1 globally for both Digiday Data & Content Experts and its Client Portfolio Profile, which shows very good relationship stability across a roster that includes both major international accounts and a strong local client base.

Hearts United – OM’s newly launched agency that brought together Hearts & Science and Mediahub – and PHD were both among the agencies that showed the greatest increase in quali-share scores since the last report as well as over a three-year window, with Hearts United topping this ranking and PHD close behind at #3. 

Noting the positive impact that Omnicom’s acquisition of IPG has had on the OM agency portfolio, RECMA notes, “all of the group’s agencies are benefiting from the advantages in this evaluation, particularly the integration of data and digital specialist units.”

Says Adamski, “RECMA’s findings underscore the value of what we are building together. The integration of our data and digital specialists, combined with the depth of talent and expertise across our agency portfolio, is creating capabilities that are greater than the sum of their parts. We have the scale to shape the marketplace, the intelligence to make better decisions and the talent to turn those advantages into results. That positions Omnicom Media not simply to lead today’s industry, but to help define what the next generation of media looks like.”

 “Ultimately, the value of our combined capabilities is measured by what they make possible for our clients,” says Adamski.  By connecting data, identity, commerce, technology, and talent across our business, we can give clients a more complete view of their opportunities, make better investment decisions and turn those decisions into stronger business outcomes. The advantage is not simply the scale of what we bring together, but how we put it to work to help our clients grow, compete, and stay ahead in an increasingly complex marketplace.”
