Hi all - looking for some advice/intel. I’m currently interviewing for AD roles at several IPGH agencies. I’m pretty interested in them, though slightly trepidatious with the OHG merger happening in the background. Anyone have any insight into where things might land for these agencies when the dust settles? Appreciate any and all intel. Thanks!

I recently started with an IPG agency. So far I really like it and I'm fully remote as is most of my team (meaning living outside of NY).

I had the same concerns and asked about them during the interview process. In the end I decided to make the move and I'm glad I did.

Regarding the acquisition, the last I heard is they're aiming for it to be done by EOY.

The 2025 Holiday schedule that Lisa DuJat sent out earlier this year has: Thanksgiving early close/1pm on Wed. 11/26, closed all day 11/27 and 11/28.
And for Xmas: early close/1pm on 12/24 and closed 12/25 through 1/1/26. Dana usually sends an email out the week before the holiday, reminding of the time off.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
