NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Omnicom Group’s (NYSE: OMC) Goodby Silverstein & Partners, TBWA and BBDO have been named to Fast Company‘s prestigious list of 2021 Most Innovative Companies, making Omnicom the only holding company to have three agencies ranked in the top 10 in the Advertising sector. 

“This is a significant recognition for Omnicom and our agencies, especially given a very challenging year dealing with the effects of the pandemic,” said John Wren, Chairman and CEO. “It’s a testament to the perseverance and resilience of our people, and it also speaks to Omnicom’s strategic focus on creativity, innovation and embedding digital and new skillsets across our portfolio, which has been effective in assisting clients with their digital transformation initiatives.

The Fast Company list honors the businesses that have not only found a way to be resilient in the past year, but also turned those challenges into transforming industries and shaping society. These companies did more than survive but thrived – making an impact on the advertising sector and culture as a whole. This marks the third time that Goodby Silverstein & Partners made the list, the third year in a row for TBWA and the fourth consecutive year for BBDO.

“In a year of unprecedented challenges, the companies on the list exhibit fearlessness, ingenuity, and creativity in the face of crisis,” said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Litsky, who oversaw the issue with Senior Editor Amy Farley.

This year’s Most Innovative Company list features businesses across a range of industries from 29 countries. Companies and nonprofits of all sizes were considered and individually evaluated by a team of Fast Company editors and reporters.
