**Omnicom is merging Golin and Ketchum,** a major consolidation inside Omnicom Public Relations Group as the holding company begins reshaping its communications portfolio in the wake of its acquisition of Interpublic, reports [PRovoke Media.](https://www.provokemedia.com/latest/article/omnicom-to-merge-golin-and-ketchum-fold-porter-novelli-into-fleishmanhillard?ref=capitolcommunicator.com)

According to an internal memo, the combined agency will be led by Golin chief executive **Matt Neale** as CEO, with Ketchum’s T**amara Norman** serving as global president. Norman, named Ketchum’s US CEO in 2024, has been leading the region since the departure of then-CEO **Mike Doyle** in July.

The agencies will retain their individual brands during the integration. Ketchum has a D.C, office

In a separate move, states PRovoke Media, “Omnicom is folding Porter Novelli into FleishmanHillard, with Porter Novelli becoming a dedicated brand within FleishmanHillard rather than operating as a standalone agency. In the memo, OPRG CEO Chris Foster, in photo, said the two agencies are closely aligned in corporate affairs, reputation, and purpose and social impact, and that the new structure is designed to connect teams and offerings in a way that makes delivery more consistent across markets. (Porter Novelli and FleishmanHillard both have D.C. offices.)

“J.J. Carter will continue to lead FleishmanHillard as CEO. Porter Novelli CEO Jillian Janaczek will serve as Americas CEO.

“Foster framed the moves as part of a broader effort to define what a modern PR and communications organization should look like following the IPG acquisition, with the goal of making it easier for clients to access the right expertise quickly across corporate reputation, public affairs, marketing, and growth priorities.”
