This week’s FWD covers the latest on AI from Omnicom. Last week at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Omnicom debuted ‘Omni Asist’ in a first-of-its-kind partnership with Microsoft.
Using Generative AI, the virtual assistant built within Omni, Omnicom’s marketing orchestration platform, will help employees across the Omnicom network with tasks across the advertising process, such as compiling audience insights and building media plans.
Omnicom has said that it continues to consider the use of Omni Assist as a beta test before rolling it out more broadly. Employees could use Omni Assist to seek answers regarding which consumers to target i.e., for a specific type of cleaning product, or to list effective influencers for promoting a given product within a specific budget.
