Presentation of Financial Statements	Presentation of Financial Statements The terms “Omnicom,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Omnicom Group Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the information contained herein. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“ 2014 10-K”). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year.

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) , which replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented; or, recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard in the period of initial application. On July 9, 2015, the FASB board approved a one year deferral of the effective date to December 15, 2017 and early application is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Presently, we are not yet in a position to assess the application date, the transition method we will choose, or the impact of the application on our results of operations or financial position. In February 2015, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”) , which changes the consolidation analysis for both the variable interest model and for the voting model for limited partnerships and similar entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. ASU 2015-02 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented; or, recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard in the period of initial application. We will apply ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 and we do not expect that the application of the new standard will have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position. In April 2015, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of debt. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted and requires retrospective application to each prior period presented. ASU 2015-03 only affects the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet and has no impact on results of operations. We will apply ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and we do not expect that the application of the new standard will have any impact on our results of operations or financial position.

At June 30, 2015 , we performed Step 1 of the annual impairment test and compared the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying value, including goodwill. Based on the results of our impairment test, we concluded that our goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2015 because the fair value of each of our reporting units was substantially in excess of its respective net book value. Changes in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were (in millions): 2015 2014 January 1 $ 8,822.2 $ 8,916.0 Acquisitions 68.2 116.6 Dispositions (2.8 ) (1.5 ) Foreign currency translation (121.6 ) 61.3 June 30 $ 8,766.0 $ 9,092.4 There were no goodwill impairment losses recorded in the first six months of 2015 or 2014 and there are no accumulated goodwill impairment losses. Goodwill for acquisitions completed in 2015 and 2014 includes $3.3 million and $26.8 million , respectively, of goodwill attributed to noncontrolling interests in the acquired businesses.

Debt

Debt	6 Months Ended

Debt [Abstract]
Debt	Debt Credit Lines We have a $2.5 billion credit line (“Credit Agreement”) expiring on July 31, 2019 . Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, effective July 31, 2015, the expiration date of the Credit Agreement will be extended to July 31, 2020. We have the ability to classify borrowings under the Credit Agreement as long-term. Additionally, we can issue up to $2.0 billion of commercial paper. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement. We also have uncommitted credit lines aggregating $915.6 million and $937.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Available and unused credit lines at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were (in millions): 2015 2014 Credit Agreement $ 2,500.0 $ 2,500.0 Uncommitted credit lines 915.6 937.8 Available and unused credit lines $ 3,415.6 $ 3,437.8 The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12-month period (under the Credit Agreement, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and an Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with these covenants, as our Leverage Ratio was 2.1 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 12.9 times. The Credit Agreement does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock. Short-Term Borrowings Short-term borrowings of $14.1 million and $7.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, are comprised of bank overdrafts and credit lines of our international subsidiaries. The bank overdrafts and credit lines are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to the agreements supporting the facilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, carrying value approximates fair value. Long-Term Notes Payable Long-term notes payable at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were (in millions): 2015 2014 5.9% Senior Notes due 2016 $ 1,000.0 $ 1,000.0 6.25% Senior Notes due 2019 500.0 500.0 4.45% Senior Notes due 2020 1,000.0 1,000.0 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022 1,250.0 1,250.0 3.65% Senior Notes due 2024 750.0 750.0 Other notes and loans 0.4 0.5 4,500.4 4,500.5 Unamortized premium (discount) on Senior Notes, net 10.7 11.1 Adjustment to carrying value for interest rate swaps 41.9 51.4 4,553.0 4,563.0 Current portion of debt (1,005.1 ) (0.4 ) Long-term notes payable $ 3,547.9 $ 4,562.6 On March 26, 2015 , we entered into a $1 billion receive floating (three month LIBOR) pay fixed ( 2.3209% ) forward-starting 10-year interest rate swap in connection with the maturity of our $1 billion 5.9% Senior Notes on April 15, 2016 (“2016 Notes”). The swap mitigates the risk of changes in the semi-annual interest payments during the period March 26, 2015 to May 2, 2016 , the contractual termination date of the swap, and effectively locks in the fixed interest rate, excluding the effect of our credit spread, on any refinancing of the 2016 Notes. Accordingly, the swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of the semi-annual interest rate payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. We expect that the swap will have almost no ineffectiveness and is carried on the balance sheet at fair value and any net gain or loss on the swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon termination of the swap, any gain or loss will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the new debt or will be recorded in our results of operations if the refinancing is not completed. At June 30, 2015 , we recorded an asset of $35.2 million , which is included in other current assets and the related gain of $20.5 million , net of income taxes, is recorded in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the 2016 Notes are classified as a current liability. In 2014 , we entered into receive fixed pay floating interest rate swaps on the $1.25 billion principal amount of our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and on the $1 billion principal amount of our 4.45% Senior Notes due 2020 (“2020 Notes”). The interest rate swaps hedge the risk of changes in fair value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes attributable to changes in the benchmark LIBOR interest rate. Under the swap contracts, we receive fixed interest rate payments equal to the coupon interest rate on the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes and pay a variable interest rate on the total principal amount of the notes, equal to three month LIBOR in arrears, plus a spread of 1.05% on the 2022 Notes and a spread of 2.16% on the 2020 Notes. The swaps qualify and are designated as fair value hedges on the 2022 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively and have the economic effect of converting the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes from fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. Gains and losses attributed to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps substantially offset changes in the fair value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes attributed to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The net interest settlement is recorded in interest expense. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we recorded a receivable, which is included in other assets, of $36.8 million and $42.7 million , respectively, representing the fair value of the swaps that was substantially offset by the increase in the carrying value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes reflecting the change in fair value of the notes. Accordingly, any hedge ineffectiveness was not material to our results of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Our five branded agency networks operate in the advertising, marketing and corporate communications services industry, and are organized into agency networks, virtual client networks, regional reporting units and operating groups. The agency networks' regional reporting units comprise three principal regions; the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. The regional reporting units monitor the performance and are responsible for the agencies in their region. Agencies within the regional reporting units serve similar clients in similar industries and in many cases the same clients and have similar economic characteristics. The main economic components of each agency are employee compensation and related costs and direct service costs and office and general costs which include rent and occupancy costs, technology costs and other overhead expenses. Therefore, given these similarities, we aggregate our operating segments, which are our five agency networks, into one reporting segment. Revenue and long-lived assets and goodwill by geographic area as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were (in millions): Americas EMEA Asia Pacific 2015 Revenue - Three months ended $ 2,364.1 $ 1,046.7 $ 394.5 Revenue - Six months ended 4,515.0 2,008.2 751.3 Long-lived assets and goodwill 6,135.5 2,790.0 547.1 2014 Revenue - Three months ended $ 2,295.2 $ 1,173.9 $ 401.8 Revenue - Six months ended 4,376.3 2,235.6 761.1 Long-lived assets and goodwill 6,124.1 3,091.7 613.8 The Americas comprises North America, which includes the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, and Latin America, which includes Mexico. EMEA comprises the United Kingdom, the Euro currency countries, other European countries that have not adopted the European Union Monetary standard, the Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific comprises Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and other Asian countries. Revenue in the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,146.3 million and $2,061.3 million , respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $4,104.5 million and $3,933.1 million , respectively.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 32.8% from 32.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the recognition of an income tax benefit of approximately $11 million related to previously incurred expenses for the proposed merger with Publicis Groupe S.A. (“Publicis”). On May 8, 2014, the proposed merger was terminated. Prior to the termination of the merger, the majority of the merger costs, which were incurred in 2013, were capitalized for income tax purposes and the related tax benefits were not recorded. Because the merger was terminated, the merger costs were no longer required to be capitalized for income tax purposes. Excluding the income tax benefit of $11 million related to the proposed merger, the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 was 33.5% . The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 excluding the income tax benefit related to the proposed merger, is primarily due to a legal entity restructuring of our European operations. As a result of the reorganization, a certain portion of the foreign earnings in the affected countries is subject to lower effective tax rates. At June 30, 2015 , our net unrecognized tax benefits were $62.0 million . Of this amount, approximately $51.1 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.
