Troy Ruhanen, president and CEO of Omnicom Advertising Group, is stepping down today. The division of Omnicom officially launched in January 2025 to unify the creative networks of BBDO, DDB, TBWA and the Advertising Collective under one roof.
“It has been the privilege of a lifetime to work alongside some of the most talented people in our industry. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together,” said Ruhanen in a statement. “With the integration complete, this is the right moment for me to retire.”
