Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure

Segment Information

We have two reportable segments, IAN and CMG. IAN is comprised of McCann Worldgroup, Foote, Cone & Belding, Lowe & Partners, IPG Mediabrands, our digital specialist agencies 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 segment operating income (loss). The segment information is presented consistently with the basis described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that segment operating income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes the impact of net restructuring and other reorganization-related reversals. See Note 8 for further information on net restructuring reversals.
