Another man’s treasure

Omnicom Precision Marketing Group (OPMG) and Omnicom Advertising Collective (OAC) joined forces with Adobe to host a Creative Jam design challenge with the goal of driving DE&I efforts across Omnicom’s agency network.

The Creative Jam kicked off with 99 participants around the world, spread over 20 cross-disciplinary teams from 11 agencies. The teams were tasked with designing and naming a fictional desktop app that would address at least one of Omnicom’s OPEN 2.0 action items to benefit all Omnicom employees.

Teams had six days to design and prototype their app using Adobe XD. The submissions covered everything from building transparency in salaries to showcasing great work from diverse team members.

DE&I leaders from across Omnicom judged the initial submissions and selected five finalist teams. The finalists presented their apps during the Creative Jam live finale to a virtual audience of 250 people and a panel of three Omnicom leaders who selected the winning app.

Advocating for AAPIs

Omnicom Group

Three in five Asian Americans say they rarely see themselves represented in advertising despite having a buying power of $1.3 trillion. To address this glaring disparity, Omnicom issued a call to action for agency creatives to develop public service announcements (PSAs) detailing the underrepresentation of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in advertising. Nineteen PSAs presented by 16 different agencies were submitted. The winner of the 3in5 Challenge was ADMERASIA’s film “Invisible,” which used empty vignettes of everyday life to reflect the AAPI experience of not being seen or heard in media. The film ends with a call for brands to stand indivisible in their pledge to represent the AAPI experience. As the winning submission, ADMERASIA's PSA was featured in over $1 million worth of donated ad space from more than 35 national media partners.
