What Sorrell, Jones, Nadal Say About Publicis-Omnicom Merger

During a conference call with journalists on Sunday morning, Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Levy was respectful to his longtime rival, Martin Sorrell, the CEO of WPP -- which is now the No. 2 holding company. That sentiment was returned when Mr. Sorrell, following the merger announcement of Omnicom and Publicis, complimented Mr. Levy's ability to propose the deal talks and successfully see them through.
