Hey guys I have two offers I’m conflicted about
1. IPG MB Agency - Senior Associate, Commerce - CPG client
2. Publicis Media Agency - Senior Associate, Media Planning - Sports Retailer client

Same pay. Ik commerce/retail media is hot, but I’m just worried about the layoffs that may come with the acquisition of IPG. Thoughts?

I'd avoid IPG because of the acquisition coming up.

You know all the details best so I would trust your gut and the overall package of what these offers entail.

However, having worked at Publicis and IPG. I preferred my time at Publicis more than the time I spent at IPG……..
