Press Hour with Adweek

On Wednesday, June 24, Adweek’s Alison Weissbrot leads an hour of conversation across three back-to-back panels — moving from how clients choose, to how intelligence becomes influence, to what the new Omnicom means for the agentic age.

Each session runs twenty minutes, with agency leadership, consultants, and Omnicom executives examining where real growth is being created now — and how the best teams turn insight into conviction, and conviction into action.

The next era of competitive advantage will belong to those who can turn intelligence into influence — and influence into growth.

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 · 4:30 – 5:30 PM · Three sessions, back to back.
All sessions moderated by Alison Weissbrot, Editor, Adweek.

Sessions

4:30 – 4:50

From Brief to Belief: How Clients Choose

In a world of constant disruption, clients are not looking for more process or more presentations. They are looking for confidence. This candid session brings together agency leadership and top consultants to explore what clients are really buying today — how the best teams move beyond the brief, uncover the real business challenge, and connect intelligence, creativity, and execution into ideas that inspire action. Because influence is not created by data, creativity, or technology alone. It is created when insight becomes creative conviction, conviction becomes action, and action drives growth.

Turning Intelligence into Influence: The Agentic Advantage

AI is no longer simply a tool for productivity. It is becoming a new operating model for growth. As agentic systems reshape how organizations learn, decide, create, and execute, leaders face a new challenge: building businesses that can adapt faster, operate more intelligently, and create influence at scale. This session explores how connected intelligence is becoming a new source of competitive advantage — and why the next generation of growth leaders will be those who can turn intelligence into influence, and influence into growth.

The new Omnicom: Building the Most Influential Growth Partner of the Agentic Age

As AI, consumer behavior, and technology reshape the rules of growth, Omnicom is building a fundamentally new company for a fundamentally new era. This fireside conversation with Omnicom leadership explores the vision behind the new Omnicom: a more connected company, a more intelligent company, and a company built for how growth happens today. From agentic marketing transformation and the new consumer engagement model to the future of partnership, the discussion examines how Omnicom is helping clients understand consumers more deeply, adapt more quickly, and create growth through connected intelligence.
