Omnicom has confirmed a massive restructure in Australia and New Zealand, with all of its business units across media, creative, PR, performance marketing and production being rolled into Omnicom Oceania under Nick Garrett. The model appears to be a pilot for the global business as holding companies and consulting rivals race to consolidate. Tellingly, Garrett will report directly to global Chairman and CEO John Wren, with the top boss monitoring closely how the move plays out – and what happens next. https://lnkd.in/g6JvR-wJ

In her latest article, Australian Marketing Institute CEO Bronwyn Heys delivers a powerful message: marketing has lost its seat at the table in far too many organisations. It’s not just a marketing issue, it’s a breakdown in C-suite alignment. Only 30% of CMOs believe their organisation has a clear view of marketing ROI. And just half are involved in strategic planning. Bronwyn Heys calls for a comeback where the CEO, CMO, and CFO move in lockstep.
