Segment Information

We have two reportable segments, IAN and CMG. IAN is comprised of McCann Worldgroup, Draftfcb, Lowe & Partners, IPG Mediabrands and our domestic integrated agencies. CMG is comprised of a number of our specialist marketing services offerings. We also report results for the “Corporate and other” group. The profitability measure employed by our chief operating decision maker for allocating resources to operating divisions and assessing operating division performance is operating income. The segment information is presented consistently with the basis described in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
