The advertising world is being rewritten, and we turned the page on a big new chapter this week. The announcement of Omnicom’s $13.25 billion acquisition of Interpublic Group marks the dawn of a new era in how we communicate, consume, and connect. This merger creates the world’s largest advertising conglomerate, a behemoth designed to withstand the challenges of an increasingly dominated world by Big Tech. It’s a move to scale operations and stay relevant in an age where data analytics, AI, and digital-first strategies are no longer optional—they’re foundational. For brands, the implications are profound. The lines between creative storytelling and algorithmic precision are blurring. So what does this mean for the rest of us? Brands will need to innovate at the speed of technology and stay deeply human. The real question isn’t about how much data we have—it’s about how well we use it to connect. But there’s a bigger, harder question: In an industry fueled by individuality and originality, do we lose something when we consolidate to compete? Does creativity become diluted when scaled to the size of a conglomerate? As always, there’s no simple answer. We're ready to keep talking about it.

Time to celebrate someone who probably doesn't want celebrating!! That's why we're posting this without her approval. Congratulations to Yvonne Cheng, number one CCO in our hearts and minds; number 22 CCO on this list we're sure isn't in order of importance.

She is driven to grow products, companies, businesses, and people through creative direction, brand, and product strategy." All of those things she is, but we're lucky enough to know that she's also the person to push when it matters most. That's why our shit's so good. Thanks, Yvonne, for helping us make good shit.
