Interpublic Group, a stalwart in the advertising sector, has recently undergone significant changes. Omnicom Group Inc's industry-shifting acquisition of
IPG has turned Omnicom into the world's largest advertising company, marking the end of an era for IPG. As part of the deal, many
IPG staff and clients have transferred to Acceleration Community of Companies while IPG has cut a substantial number of jobs ahead of the merger. With strengthened ad rules in place, the Federal Trade Commission approved the deal. Despite revenue decreases,
IPG has posted increased profits ahead of the merger, a feature that made Omnicom determine to close the deal.
IPG also succeeded in securing Bayer's global consumer health account, fueling speculation of its momentum as a strong stock. However, the merger's effects have also been disruptive, shaking up leadership ranks and requiring mass job cuts. The Interpublic Group of Companies' options are also set to be delisted. The merger has so far garnered a generally positive response from industry insiders and, despite the upheaval, the future of both Omnicom and
Interpublic Group looks solid.
