Omnicom Celebrates the Holidays with a Train Journey Around the World

To celebrate the Christmas holidays, the CEO of global marketing holding company Omnicom, John Wren, commissioned a vibrant Christmas film to share with their staff and wish them a peaceful holiday season.

The film follows the journey of Omnicom Express - a steam train - as it travels worldwide to visit the Omnicom offices' cities. It begins in Brooklyn and continues to Brazil, Sydney, Paris, Toronto, and London, concluding with a heart warming message from John Wren himself.

denis. was tasked with composing a vibrant music score that captured the holiday spirit while respecting the religious diversity of the Omnicom global community. The score leans on the orchestra, with soaring melodies, haunting choirs and various musical colours that change as the train passes through different countries.

Small cultural nods were composed; for example, the accordion appears as we traverse through Paris, while traditional wind instruments peak out over London, where they were a staple in the Renaissance era.
