This prospectus supplement relates to the resale by the selling
securityholders of Liquid Yield Option(TM) Notes (Zero Coupon -- Senior) due
2031 (the "LYONs") of Omnicom Group Inc. and the shares of common stock issuable

This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the
prospectus dated February 26, 2001, which is to be delivered with this
prospectus supplement. All capitalized terms used but not defined in the
prospectus supplement shall have the meanings given them in the prospectus.
The following information replaces in its entirety the information
provided in the prospectus under the caption "Selling Securityholders."
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
The LYONs were originally issued by us and sold by Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed by Merrill
Lynch to be "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined by Rule 144A under the
Securities Act). The selling securityholders (which term includes their
transferees, pledgees, donees or successors) may from time to time offer and
sell pursuant to this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, any and all of the
LYONs and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion and/or redemption
of the LYONs.
Set forth below are the names of each selling securityholder, the
principal amount of LYONs that may be offered by such selling securityholder
pursuant to this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, and the number of
shares of common stock into which such LYONs are convertible. Unless set forth
below, none of the selling securityholders has had a material relationship with
us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.
The following table sets forth certain information received by us on or
prior to August 5, 2002. However, any or all of the LYONs or common stock listed
below may be offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, by the selling securityholders from time to time. Accordingly, no
estimate can be given as to the amounts of LYONs or common stock that will be
held by the selling securityholders upon consummation of any such sales. In
addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their LYONs since the
date on which the information regarding their LYONs was provided, in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
9.09 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the

result, the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs

were originally issued. Merrill Lynch has advised us that it is not aware
of any position, office or directorship relationship that it has had with
Omnicom or its affiliates. However, Merrill Lynch has advised us that it
may have, from time to time, acted in a financial investment advisory
capacity to Omnicom.
(3) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated was the initial purchaser in the
offering of $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures due 2013 on January 6, 1998 by Omnicom.
(4) Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
prospectus supplements, if required.
(5) Assumes that any other holders of LYONs, or any future transferees,
pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such other holders of LYONs,
do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common stock
issuable upon conversion of the LYONs at the initial conversion rate.
The preceding table has been prepared based upon information furnished to
us by the selling securityholders named in the table. From time to time,
additional information concerning ownership of the LYONs and common stock may
rest with certain holders thereof not named in the preceding table, with whom we

may change from over time. Any changed information will be set forth in
prospectus supplements.
