NEW YORK Omnicom Group today said it has acquired a majority stake in EVB, a 6-year-old Web shop that does work for Adidas and Kellogg, among others.

In San Francisco-based EVB, Omnicom adds a 50-plus person creative shop well versed in creating Flash-driven brand sites. The agency’s biggest clients are Wrigley and Leapfrog. The shop won two gold Cyber Lions at last month’s Cannes International Advertising Festival.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

EVB CEO and founder Daniel Stein and executive creative director Jason Zada will continue to lead the agency.
