BOSTON WPP Group is considering the merger of two of its public relations firms: GCI Group and Cohn & Wolfe, sources said.

An announcement about the merger of the two shops is expected on Friday, sources said. Sources have also speculated that if the two shops do in fact merge, the GCI brand would likely be folded into Cohn & Wolfe.
