Credera

What Credera does

Credera is a global management and technology transformation consultancy that operates as the enterprise transformation arm of Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC), a publicly listed marketing and communications conglomerate. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Addison, Texas, the firm serves leading enterprise organizations and government agencies, delivering work spanning marketing technology (MarTech) and advertising technology (AdTech) strategy and implementation, AI strategy and value realization, enterprise data strategy, and large-scale digital transformation programs. Credera combines consulting delivery with proprietary assets, most notably the Marketing Data & Analytics Foundation — a cloud-agnostic data operations layer that unifies, processes, and routes marketing data to activation platforms — and the Inclusion by Design AI governance framework.

The firm monetizes through project-based consulting engagements and retainer agreements delivered by a global bench of approximately 4,000 consultants across 18 offices in 6 countries (United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Australia, and Germany). Services are priced via project scope, hourly rates, and retainer structures; no public pricing exists. Customers span Telecommunications (e.g., C Spire, Shentel), Media (e.g., National Geographic, a streaming service), Public Sector (including a major citizen-experience modernization and a U.S. Military recruiting program), Consumer & Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Technology. Technology and integrations span Adobe (now the flagship unified practice post-LeapPoint integration in April 2026), AWS (Generative AI Competency), Salesforce (multiple Clouds), Microsoft, Google Cloud, Databricks, Tealium, SnapLogic, Braze, Contentful, Fivetran, mParticle, Optimizely, and BigCommerce.

Distribution is primarily enterprise field sales, supplemented by event-driven demand generation (Diamond Sponsorship at Adobe Summit 2026), a thought leadership engine including the Pure Signal podcast (hosted by CEO NA Kevin Erickson, Global CIO Jake Carter, and Manager Ryan Medellin) and a steady cadence of e-books and blog content, and earned media across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and PR wires. Credera is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnicom Group with no independent external investors or public listing; consolidation of consulting capabilities under the Credera brand, including the 2024 acquisition and 2026 integration of LeapPoint, indicates a continuing strategy of building a flagship global transformation brand inside Omnicom rather than operating as an independent firm.

• IBM Consulting: IBM Consulting is a global enterprise consulting practice competing with Credera on hybrid cloud (AWS/Azure), data and AI, and CRM transformation mandates, including joint go-to-market with Adobe and Salesforce.
