The merger last week of Interpublic Group shops Mullen and Long Haymes Carr brought speculation that other IPG holdings could soon be joined—in particular The Martin Agency and Suissa Miller.

Sources said IPG may seek to “reinforce” Martin by expanding its geographic scope or depth of services through an acquisition or a merger with an IPG sister. Sources pegged Suissa Miller, Los Angeles, as a likely partner.

Michael Sennott, deputy chairman of The Lowe Group, Martin’s immediate parent within IPG, acknowledged Lowe is looking to grow the Martin operation, but downplayed suggestions that it will be combined with another IPG shop.
