The company’s subsidiary, Omnicom Media Group (“OMG”), recently announced the acquisition of Jump 450 Media for an undisclosed amount.

Established in 2016, Jump 450 Media is a New York-based performance marketing agency that emphasizes on customer acquisition for high-growth and enterprise clients in industries like consumer, gaming, health and wellness and fintech.

The company has been named in AdAge’s 2020 Best Places to Work, Fast Company’s 2020 Best Workplaces, and Inc.’s 2019 Best Workplaces.

How Will Omnicom Benefit?

The acquisition of Jump 450 can help OMG establish a dedicated performance media platform and business operation.

According to Daryl Simm, Global chairman and CEO of OMG, Jump’s expertise in performance marketing and e-commerce media will help increase quality of OMG’s performance media offerings. This in turn will increase OMG’s quality of assistance toward high-growth and outcomes-focused clients.

Tech IPOs With Massive Profit Potential

In the past few years, many popular platforms and like Uber and Airbnb finally made their way to the public markets. But the biggest paydays came from lesser-known names.

For example, electric carmaker X Peng shot up +299.4% in just 2 months. Think of it this way…

If you had put $5,000 into XPEV at its IPO in September 2020, you could have cashed out with $19,970 in November.

With record amounts of cash flooding into IPOs and a record-setting stock market, this year’s lineup could be even more lucrative.
