Introduction Contd...

Omnicom sources attributed the increase in non-advertising revenue growth to its diversification strategies, which reduced its exposure to any single industry.

By the 1980s, TBWA had become a major player in both the European and the US advertising markets. In 1986, DDB merged with Needham Harper Worldwide, a Chicago-based advertising agency, to form DDB Needham. In the same year, BBDO merged with DDB Needham to form Omnicom...
