About the Agency

Our people bring to life our values of challenging conventions, celebrating difference, collaboration and positivity.

The core of our difference is rooted in our culture—which we invest significant time and energy into nurturing—to ensure our people remain happy and fulfilled.

A central pillar of creating an agency fit for the future is making decisions that benefit our people, our agency, our partners and our clients.

This extends into our approach to learning & development, our diverse staff population and social calendar.

Flexible Working

At Omnicom Media Group we are committed to supporting flexibility for our people while fostering collaboration, innovation and teamwork.

For example, you could start work at 08:30 and finish at 16:30 or start at 10:30 and finish at 18:30.

We encourage open conversations between our people and managers to help navigate high‑need periods and individual circumstances. Our goal is to create an environment where people feel genuinely supported to do their best—both in their careers and in their lives outside of work.
