Omnicom Group Names Wendy Clark Global President and CEO of DDB

Worldwide; Chuck Brymer Transitions to Chairman Role

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2018 —Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE: OMC) President and CEO John
Wren announced the appointment of Wendy Clark as President and CEO of DDB
Worldwide. Clark succeeds Chuck Brymer who will assume the title of Chairman. Both roles
are effective immediately.

“After 12 terrific years as the head of DDB, I am excited to hand the baton to Wendy,” said
Chuck Brymer, Chairman, DDB Worldwide. “She is passionate about our business and
clients, and has proven to be an inspiring leader for our company. I look forward to helping
Wendy continue to foster an environment where our people can do their best work.”

Under Clark’s leadership as CEO of DDB North America, the agency has grown by
enhancing existing relationships such as State Farm, Mars, and Johnson & Johnson, as well
as a strong new business track record. Most notably, Clark was instrumental in winning the
consolidated US creative account for McDonald’s in 2016 that led to the formation of a
dedicated agency unit, We Are Unlimited.

In addition to leading her approximately 2,000-plus team across 17 offices, Clark launched
“DDB Flex” – an operating model that creates bespoke, cross-agency, integrated teams based
on clients' businesses.

On the talent front, Clark has pushed gender and diversity boundaries with the introduction
of initiatives such as “Talent Has No Gender” and unconscious bias training. In 2017, Ad Age
named Clark “Executive of the Year” based on her professional success over a 12-month
period.

Commenting on her new position, Clark said, “I’ve loved every minute of the last two years
with our DDB North America team and clients creating the resurgence of this majestic,
important agency. To now have the opportunity to follow Chuck’s legacy of leadership and
work with our global teams and clients is both humbling and exciting.”

In his new role of Chairman, Brymer will continue to serve the company while taking on
added responsibilities within Omnicom.

John Wren, President and CEO of Omnicom, added: “During his tenure as CEO of DDB,
Chuck has successfully grown DDB as not only one of the most creative agencies in the
advertising industry but also a leading network for CRM, retail activation, branding, and
digital services around the globe.”
He continued, “At Omnicom, we recognize the importance of succession planning, and
Chuck and I knew that Wendy would be the right person to take the helm of DDB. Her
experience leading DDB North America coupled with her expertise as a leading marketer
makes this a seamless leadership transition that will build upon DDB’s capabilities and
reputation as a leader in the business.”

Clark joined the agency in 2016, from Coca-Cola North America, where she was President,
Sparkling Brands and Strategic Marketing. Previously, she served as Senior Vice President,
Global Sparkling Brand Center, where she was responsible for the global leadership of all
Coca-Cola's Sparkling brands. Before joining Coca-Cola in 2008, she was Senior Vice
President, Advertising for AT&T.

In 2017 DDB Worldwide took home Network of the Year at Eurobest for the fifth
consecutive year, and adam&eveDDB was named Agency of the Year at multiple awards
shows, among other recognitions. The Network was awarded nearly 100 Cannes Lions and
won the business of a number of new clients including EA Sports, Puma, IKEA, Kellogg’s,
State Farm, and Virgin Air to name a few. In addition, DDB Worldwide launched the Phyllis
