The Year the Agencies Died - wrote Richard Edelman on the last day of 2025. According to him:
"2025 will be remembered as a difficult year for the communications sector. The IPG Omnicom merger created the largest firm in the world but will require between 10-15,000 redundancies. Dentsu is selling its international holdings. WPP share price has plummeted by 50 percent, leaving the company valuation at one-third of annual revenue."
A few days later, The Media Leader reported Nine AI tool announcements from CES 2026.
But what's behind the headlines? What's ahead for the agencies and their clients in 2026?
