The merger comes with an estimated worth of $13 billion, joining two leading ad giants. The decision has grabbed the attention of significant shareholders and investment partners, some of whom are investigating the adequacy of the sale price and benefits for shareholders. Additionally, the merger's impacts on staff across the global ad industry, independent agencies, and healthcare agencies across the U.S are being scrutinized by market experts.

IPG, not just standing still, has also made significant strides, such as the acquisition of a retail analytics company worth nearly $100 million. The company's solid Q3 2024 earnings, despite facing some challenges, deserve notable credit.
