Spotify is quietly looking for a new ad agency to handle its media planning and buying as it takes steps to broaden its business beyond music and podcasts and push further into performance marketing. The audio streaming company is planning to part with its global agency of record since 2017 , ad holding company IPG Mediabrands' UM, according to two knowledgeable sources. Spotify shared a statement saying: "Today, UM is Spotify's agency of record. In October, Spotify posted an operating profit, its first since 2021, as user and advertising growth along with price hikes boosted results. Spotify has since pivoted away from heavy spending on podcasts and made some of its shows available on other platforms to spur audience growth.

Two years ago, it started building a new tech platform called Convert, and officially launched it this year. Convert helps retailers who sell ads ensure their inventory is available to as many advertisers as possible. This provides more competition for ad slots, so retailers get a fair price for their inventory. PubMatic's technology also helps retailers sell to smaller advertisers as well. PubMatic's Convert provides a portal for those smaller advertisers to log on and manage their retail media buys.

Uber is switching its $600 million ad buying business from WPP to rival Omnicom, according to two people familiar with the matter. Uber began a competitive pitch for its media business in March. Florian Adamski, Omnicom Media Group CEO, said in a statement that its agencies would make its "strategic data capabilities" central to its work for Uber. Omnicom media agencies have notched up a handful of sizeable wins since the beginning of July. New business has included the $585 million Beiersdorf account, the $150 million global HSBC business, and the $150 million brief from lottery operator Allwyn Entertainment, according to marketing industry tracker COMvergence.

Ad giant IPG has officially figured out what to do with its embattled data and technology unit Kinesso, which went through a massive shakeup over the summer that saw many of its top execs depart, as Insider first reported. Kinesso has now been merged with Reprise, an agency within Mediabrands, IPG's group of media-buying agencies. "We're trying to create an end-to-end media engine that fuels the rest of IPG Mediabrands," Martin told Insider. But the areas where the new KINESSO specializes in — like data expertise, technology, and AI — are expected to be a means for growth. KINESSO has about 6,200 employees, roughly a third of the 18,000 staffers Mediabrands has across its global network.

Google has disputed the Adalytics report, with a spokesperson describing it in a statement to Insider as "deeply flawed and misleading." An IPG Mediabrands spokeswoman said it was not accurate to say the agency was recommending a pause on any Google product. "What worries me about this Adalytics report is that Performance Max campaigns have allegedly been observed to run on made-for children inventory," Schreurs said. The article also refers to research undertaken by 3rd party (Adalytics) and the Adalytics report also mentions the following IPG/MB clients: 1. GAF For several of the above clients, the Adalytics report references that IPG/Matterkind placed the ad.

The second half of 2023 is "guaranteed" to be better than the second half of 2022. US ad revenue grew 6% in 2022, but spending massively slowed during the second half. If Magna's predictions for a 2023 ad spend recovery come true, it will be led by automotive, entertainment, travel, and insurance, within the finance industry. However, improvements in the auto industry is steering some recovery in ad spend from parts of the finance industry. Still, Letang expects comps in the second half of 2023 to be much better than the dismal second half of 2022.
Interpublic Group of Cos. reported organic-net-revenue growth of 3.8% for the fourth quarter, saying that growth continued—albeit at a slower pace—despite a more cautious marketing and media environment due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors worldwide. Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.55 billion, relatively flat when compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. For all of 2022, IPG reported organic-net-revenue growth of 7%. “As expected, growth slowed in the fourth quarter, consistent with global macroeconomic and geopolitical crosswinds which we are all aware of,” Chief Executive Philippe Krakowsky said on the company’s earnings call Thursday. Earlier this week, IPG competitor Omnicom Group Inc. reported organic-revenue growth of 7.2% for the fourth quarter.
Organic revenue growth, which removes the effects of currency fluctuations, acquisitions and disposals, was at 5.6%. Mr. Krakowsky told investors that the media planning-and-buying group IPG Mediabrands had seen double-digit organic growth. IPG’s more traditional advertising business, which includes its healthcare marketing agency IPG Health, fared better with organic growth of 6.7%. Its communications and experiential businesses, including agencies Weber Shandwick and Golin, posted organic growth of 7.8%. IPG’s organic growth was the weakest in the U.S., the company’s largest market, where it reached 4.4%.
