Omnicom Media Wins Triple Grand Prix at the 2026 M&M Global Awards

Omnicom Media agencies have dominated at the 2026 M&M Global Awards, with OMD Worldwide securing the prestigious Agency Network of the Year title.

The success was driven by OMD Peru, which was named Agency of the Year after an outstanding performance led by SOS POS for Banco de Crédito del Perú. The campaign turned everyday POS terminals into emergency banking lifelines, helping Peruvians shut down stolen phones and protect their accounts in seconds.

SOS POS went on to take the top prize of Campaign of the Year, recognising it as the standout piece of work across the competition.

Alongside the three Grand Prix, the group picked up 23 category trophies, three leadership awards, and 13 Highly Commended awards for teams across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, Greece, Lebanon, New Zealand, Peru, Spain, the UK and the USA.

Beauty Co-Lab also enjoyed a strong night, taking home four trophies and one Highly Commended award for CeraVe's The New Face of Legs. UM Canada picked up three trophies for KFC's Kyle F**cking Connor, winning Best Campaign for FMCG, Food & Beverage, Best Campaign Led by Talent and Best Local Execution of a Brand.

PHD UK took home two category trophies for the British Heart Foundation's In Living Memory, and Kleenex's Kleenex x Mr Doodle: Turning Media into Accessible Art campaigns. The agency's leadership team was also recognized, with PHD UK CEO Paul Knight named Media Agency Leader and Group Innovation Director Ben Fraser named Future Media Leader. Initiative's Group Director of Strategy, Mi Mai, was also recognised as a Future Media Leader.

Initiative Brazil picked up a category trophy for Cif's Clean My Name for Unilever in Best Local Execution of a Brand, while Initiative Canada was recognised for Wendy's Breakfast Battlegrounds in Best Use of AdTech. Hearts & Science Finland also took home a category trophy for TikTok Currency for client Verkkokauppa in Retail Media.
