OMG Australia moves pieces into place as Laura Nice shifts to PHD

Omnicom Media Group (OMG) is laying the groundwork for its future merged operations as OMD co-CEO Laura Nice shifts over to PHD.

The manoeuvre leaves Sian Whitnall as sole CEO at OMD Australia and positions former PHD CEO Mark Jarrett for an as-yet unspecified leadership role within OMG’s ranks.

The move comes as Omnicom Group globally prepares to finalise its landmark acquisition of IPG Mediabrands, with the deal now awaiting final regulatory clearance from the European Union, anticipated later this month.
