COMvergence Report Shows OMG #1 for Retention, Holding on to 74% of Its Billings in Play in a Year When the Industry Average Was Only 32%

OMG agencies PHD and OMD Leverage Agency as a Platform Model to Dominate Global Media Network Ranking

NEW YORK, March 25, 2025 /CNW/ — Omnicom Media Group (OMG), the media services division of Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) and parent company to the OMD, PHD and Hearts & Science global media agency networks, had the best total new business record (wins minus losses, including retentions) among global media management groups in 2024.

As reported in the recently published Global Media Agency New Business Barometer Full Year 2024 – an analysis of the global media agency marketplace from independent research company COMvergence – OMG was awarded approximately $7.7 billion in client billings – including $4.6 million in retained business – in 2024, outperforming its nearest competitor by more than $1 billion.

Notably, OMG also had the best retention rate, successfully defending 74% of its billings in review – in a year when the industry’s average retention rate was only 32% – while concurrently expanding its client roster with net new wins like Amazon, Gap Inc., Goldman Sachs, HanesBrands, Michelin, Priceline, and Tim Hortons.

Looking at 2024 total new business against 2023 billings reveals a projected 2024 YoY growth rate of 10.5%1 – the highest among all global media groups – as well as an overall retention rate of 96% across all OMG clients.

The COMvergence results affirm the findings of a 2024 analysis from leading research and advisory firm Forrester in which OMG was named a “Leader”. Earning the highest score among the 12 global media management groups evaluated in The Forrester Wave™: Media Management Services, Q4 2024, OMG received 5/5 scores in eight categories, including Innovation, Martech and Adtech Implementation and Media Responsibility. As reported in the evaluation, Omnicom clients noted the agency’s transparent business practices, trustworthy relationships, and strength of Omni – the open operating system that supports all Omnicom agencies – technology for media and business intelligence.

The Omni advantage was evident in OMG’s win/loss share as the group leveraged its Omni-powered Agency as a Platform model that enables a flexible ecosystem of talent, capabilities, and technology across all OMG agencies to win 24% of the $39 billion in business in 2024, while its share of losses was only 8%.

Commenting on the group’s 2024 performance, OMG CEO Florian Adamski said “The only thing more challenging than winning a new client over a months-long pitch is re-winning the clients you have – every single day. In 2024, our 28,000 people around the world met both of those challenges, optimizing our Agency as a Platform model to deliver innovative media solutions that drive business growth and build enduring relationships – between brands and consumers, and between brands and their media agency partner – in an increasingly more complex and dynamic marketplace.”

Beyond topping the global ranking, OMG was also #1 in North America, EMEA and LATAM, and in the largest advertising market (the US); and in Argentina, Bulgaria, Czechia, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden Switzerland, and Turkey.

PHD and OMD Again Dominate the Global Agency Network Rankings
OMG’s best-in-class total new business ranking was fueled by powerful performances from its agency networks– PHD and OMD claiming the #1 an d #3 spots on the global network ranking.

PHD’s secured its best-in-class ranking with $3.8b in total new business earned by successfully defending the $2.2b Volkswagen Group business as well as Sainsbury’s , HP and the majority of its Unilever business – a performance that translated to an astonishing 83% retention rate, topping all other networks by a significant margin. Incremental wins included Priceline and David Yurman and an expanded relationship with QSR giant Restaurant Brand’s International – for which it supports Burger King, Popeye’s, and Tim Horton – with the addition of the Firehouse Subs franchise in the US and the Tim Horton’s Canada business.

Joining PHD at the top of the global ranking with wins that included Gap Inc., MSC Cruises, AliExpress and Michelin, OMD was also the #1 agency network in North America for net new business (wins minus losses, excluding retentions).

A Strong Start to 2025
The COMvergence ranking caps a first quarter that has seen OMG and its agencies leading the industry on multiple fronts, starting at CES where the group announced a series of first-mover partnerships with Amazon, Google, Roku and TikTok that unlock consumer insights to supercharge search investment and outcomes.

Less than 30 days into the new year the trade press reported that the $550 Volkswagen China business had been awarded to PHD China. This was followed by Warner Bros Discovery naming Hearts & Science media agency of record for APAC.

Earlier this month, PHD and OMD each earned Agency of the Year titles from the leading US advertising trade publications, with Adweek naming PHD its Global Media Agency of the Year for the second consecutive year; and AdAge naming OMD USA its Media Agency of the Year.

BC Token Hits $0.02, Setting a New All-Time High

Published

on

By

$BC has risen nearly 70% since April as BC Engine continues to expand the token‘s utility across the BC.GAME ecosystem

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the ecosystem token of BC.GAME, reached $0.02 on July 23, setting a new all-time high and extending its recent upward price movement.

According to CoinGecko, $BC reached the $0.02 milestone after moving steadily into a higher price range over the past several weeks. The token previously recorded a high of around $0.01561 on July 17 before continuing its upward movement.

Compared with its price of approximately $0.01181 on April 12, $BC has increased by nearly 70%. The latest milestone is also part of a series of new price records reached by the token since the launch of BC Engine in April.

Alongside the price growth, BC.GAME has continued to expand the practical use of $BC across its platform ecosystem.

Through BC Engine, users can allocate eligible $BC to the platform’s reward system and receive BCD rewards distributed on an hourly basis. Users can also view their allocated tokens, accumulated rewards and participation data directly through the BC Engine interface.

The system is designed to connect $BC participation with activity generated by products and partners across the wider BC.GAME ecosystem.

BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sports betting technology provider BETBY have already been integrated as Engine Nodes. Contributions from participating products and partners help support the BC Engine reward pool, creating a direct connection between platform activity, user participation and token utility.

“Reaching $0.02 is an important milestone for $BC, but price is only one part of the ecosystem’s continued development,” a BC.GAME spokesperson said. “Our focus remains on expanding the token‘s practical uses and connecting it more closely with products, rewards and user participation across the platform.”

The $BC ecosystem also includes separate buyback and token-burning mechanisms.

A portion of the tokens acquired through BC.GAME’s ongoing buyback activity may be redistributed to eligible active users through features such as Instant Bonus. The buyback programme operates separately from the token-burning mechanism.

Token burning is primarily connected to the BC Engine unlocking process. When users unlock $BC less than seven days after allocating it to BC Engine, 1% of the unlocked amount is permanently burned. Users who wait at least seven days can unlock the full amount without triggering a burn.

BC.GAME plans to introduce additional products and Engine Nodes while continuing to improve the visibility of reward distributions, token burns and other related on-chain activity.

The platform will also explore further uses for $BC across original games, sports betting and digital-asset reward experiences as the ecosystem continues to develop.

More information about BC Engine and the $BC ecosystem is available at bc.game/bc.

BinBase Enhances 2026 USA BIN Intelligence for Durbin Compliance, Debit Network Routing, and Level 2/3 Interchange Savings

Published

on

By

BinBase updates its US payment dataset with advanced Durbin Regulation flags, ATM/Debit network routing indicators, and Level 2/3 commercial card markers to help merchants significantly reduce processing fees.

MIAMI, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a leading provider of card issuing and payment analytics data, has announced major US-focused updates to its 2026 BIN Database. Designed specifically for payment facilitators (PayFacs), US acquiring banks, and enterprise e-commerce merchants, the updated dataset targets one of the largest operational costs in payment processing: transaction interchange fees.

In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars for merchants. BinBase provides the exact data needed for dynamic cost-optimizing routing.

Processing credit and debit cards in the United States requires navigating complex regulatory framework and network rules. A critical element is the Durbin Amendment, which caps interchange fees on debit cards issued by regulated US banks (institutions with $10 billion or more in assets). Without precise, updated BIN-level data, payment gateways frequently misidentify unregulated cards, leading to suboptimal routing and higher processing fees.

The updated BinBase dataset addresses this challenge by providing dedicated attributes for US processing optimization:

Durbin Regulation Identification: Instant Y/N status markers allowing payment gateways to dynamically detect US regulated debit cards and apply appropriate cost structures.US Debit & ATM Network Routing: Granular routing indicators for major US PIN-debit and PINless networks, including STAR, NYCE, Pulse, and Accel, empowering payment routing engines to choose the most cost-effective path.Commercial Data Eligibility (Level 2 / Level 3): Precise identification of corporate, business, and purchasing cards eligible for Level 2/3 line-item processing, helping B2B merchants lower interchange rates on corporate transactions.Personal vs. Commercial Usage Classification: Clear distinction between consumer and corporate card ranges to prevent fee misclassification at checkout.

“In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars annually for high-volume merchants,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By combining Durbin status with US debit network data and extended 8-to-11-digit precision, BinBase provides payment engineers with the exact surgical data needed to build smart, cost-optimizing routing engines.”

To evaluate the US-specific data attributes and test integration compatibility, developers can inspect the schema and download the free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.
