IPG Ad Agency President Slanders US Army and Personnel as “Prejudiced… Deeply Flawed… Low Average Esteem, Suicidal Tendencies”

In December 2005, AdAge reported that the U.S. Army had awarded the US government’s largest single ad account to Interpublic Group of Cos. (IPG) McCann Erickson in New York, NY, following a series of on-again, off again account reviews. IPG has held on to the account ever since, but inside accounts say that the relationship hasn’t been great.

Now, the President of an IPG ad agency has publicly called the Army and the people in it “…a prejudiced, misogynistic, self-destructive organization of deeply flawed, violent men and women of low average esteem, suicidal tendencies and intelligence”.
