OPEN for All: Inclusion and Impact at Omnicom
At Omnicom, we see the power of bringing together people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to produce industry-leading creativity, spark innovation and deliver impact. OPEN (Omnicom People Engagement Network) is our cultural operating system. It’s the way we fuel our people to fuel our business.
Inclusion, Innovation, and Impact
The OPEN strategy brings inclusion and impact into the workplace through three key tenets:
Inclusion
Opening pathways for growth and building workplaces where belonging and inclusion aren’t just welcomed. They’re how we operate.
Innovation
Powering curiosity and creating space where anyone’s ideas, contributions, and work are welcomed.
Impact
Driving collective action to deliver culturally relevant, world-class results for our clients.
Fueling the People
OPEN creates real opportunities for participation and leadership across the Omnicom network:
Business Resource Groups (BRGs)
Our BRGs are open to everyone. They’re where community takes shape across agencies, disciplines, geographies, and spaces to connect, share perspectives, and support each other’s growth. Omnicom’s BRGs include: AcentO, ALC, Black Together, OmniVets, Omniwomen, OPEN Disability, and OPEN Pride.
Global OPEN House Series
Through in-person and virtual events hosted at our agencies, we bring the global community together to spotlight regional wins and show how inclusion priorities are being activated locally.
Fueling the Business
RoundZero: Ensuring Inclusion from the
Start
Inclusion enters the work before the work begins.
RoundZero is Omnicom’s approach to embedding cultural
intelligence and diverse perspectives before the brief,
before the pitch, and before a single concept takes shape.
It comes to life through three components:
Content
The proof. We showcase how inclusive thinking leads to work that drives real results for clients.
Capabilities
Tools and offerings that help agencies build inclusive practices into creative development from day one.
Curriculum
Training that equips every Omnicom employee with the practices behind more inclusive work.
From Inclusion Into Impact
OPEN operates through three Centers of Excellence, each focused on a different dimension of how inclusion drives our business:
How We Work
Culture & Workplace Experience: Why Employee Development Matters
Culture is built in the day-to-day. Through engagement, community, and continuous learning, we shape a workplace where every person feels valued, connected, and equipped to grow.
How We Lead
Social Impact & Advocacy
Influence carries responsibility. We use our platform and partnerships to champion inclusion beyond our walls, proving that corporate responsibility and business results aren’t competing priorities.
How We Win
Inclusive Business Performance
Better work starts with broader thinking. We equip teams with cultural intelligence, consistent guidance, and proven strategies so the work we put into market reflects the audiences it’s meant to reach.
