PepsiCo Hands Global Media to Publicis Amid Transformation at CPG Giant

Publicis will build a One PepsiCo media model that unites strategy, planning and activation across more than 200 markets, the company said.

  • PepsiCo has chosen Publicis Groupe to handle its global media account, implementing a new "One PepsiCo" model underpinned by AI and data across more than 200 markets.
  • The CPG company, which owns Frito-Lay, spent $5.4 billion on marketing in 2025 and saw Q2 net revenue rise 6.4% to $24.2 billion, prompting strategic investment.
  • Publicis displaces Omnicom's OMD network, which held the media account for more than two decades, though Omnicom remains a "critical strategic partner" for creative and PR work.
  • The appointment prompts Publicis to withdraw from Coca-Cola's ongoing global media pitch, a review MediaSense is handling estimated to be worth around $4 billion.
  • Publicis attributed its steady business success to an integrated agency model and AI capabilities, reporting 4.8% organic revenue growth in Q2 across all regions excluding the Middle East and Africa.
