Remember when Publicis and Omnicom were going to merge? That was hyped up forever and nothing happened. Not saying it could not happen, but, I will believe it when I see it.

I still am skeptical. Publicis seems like a much better fit for Capgemini than Accenture. I think Accenture could by a smalller holding company but Publicis' size still dwarfs past acquisitions by a lot. Not a lot of synergies either except Publicis.Sapient. Why buy your competition if you're already beating them?

How so?

AD1: What you are referring to was all the activity AFTER they announced the merger which eventually fell through. It was all quiet before that.

SF4: Cap and Publicis are friendly in Paris but Cap lacks the financials to make an acquisition of this size. I wouldn't rule out a merger.

That does not change the fact that even it it gains momentum it could fall apart at the 11th hour, just as the Publicis-Omnicom merger did. With that in mind I would not get your hopes up just yet.

Agreed, no one can't predict the outcome on these things (if the rumors are true). If the Onnicom deal had not fallen through then Publicis would probably not have acquired Sapient.

None of us have hopes for this lpl

regulators will shut it down. shear size of the two would cause market distortion. (same reason the omnicom/publicis merger failed )

The Omnicom/Publicis merger blew up over the CFO role. I would be surprised if big egos c

Continue to cause problems for any deal moving forward.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
