Adweek reported Omnicom expects to close its acquisition of IPG in November.
The announcement underscores how the deal is not concerned with the wellbeing and welfare of drones at both White holding companies.
That is, the closing date will represent a D-Day for drones—soon-to-be rendered redundant—who can expect to receive pink slips during the holiday season.
According to Adweek, “The deal will create the world’s largest [White] advertising network by revenues, overtaking rivals Publicis Groupe and WPP.”
The deal might also create the world’s largest RIF.

Watercooler talk
Omnicom said it expects to close its $13.5 billion acquisition of Interpublic Group (IPG) by the end of November.
The deal will create the world’s largest advertising network by revenues, overtaking rivals Publicis Groupe and WPP.
Omnicom is in the final stage of gaining regulatory approval from the European Union, the last remaining market under review. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) gave the deal final clearance in September, and the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority did so in August.

“Together [with IPG], we will emerge with the industry’s most talented team and a powerful platform designed to accelerate growth through strategic advantages in data, media, creativity, production, and technology,” John Wren, chairman and chief executive officer of Omnicom, said in a statement. “We’re already seeing strong momentum with significant new business wins across both companies, underscoring the compelling opportunities this acquisition creates.”
