Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure

Segment Information

As of March 31, 2016, we have two reportable segments: IAN and CMG. IAN is comprised of McCann Worldgroup, Foote, Cone & Belding ("FCB"), MullenLowe Group, 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). Segment information is presented consistently with the basis described in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K; however, segment operating income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 includes a minimal impact of restructuring and other reorganization-related charges.
