Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

| Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “IPG,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting interim financial information on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. The consolidated results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the information for each period contained therein. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. During the third quarter of 2011, we combined media and production liabilities that were previously reflected in accrued liabilities with accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets to better reflect all media and production related liabilities in one caption. As a result of this change, which was applied retrospectively, accounts payable includes all media and production liabilities. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accounts payable increased and accrued liabilities decreased by $2,316.2 and $2,332.2, respectively. This change does not impact net working capital movements, operating cash flows or total current liabilities. During the first quarter of 2011, we changed the classification of taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are directly imposed on our revenue-producing transactions from a gross to a net basis in a country. This change, which was applied retrospectively and does not change previously reported operating income or net income, decreased revenue and office and general expense by $7.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and by $17.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. A comparable amount is included as a reduction to revenue and office and general expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. We believe this presentation better aligns the Company’s internal financial and operational management reporting as well as increases consistency in our external reporting across the countries in which we operate. |

| Debt, Credit Arrangements and Preferred Stock | Debt, Credit Arrangements and Preferred Stock Long-Term Debt A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt is listed below.
7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2011 In August 2011, the remaining $36.3 aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2011 matured, and we paid $37.6 in cash, including accrued and unpaid interest. Interest Rate Swaps In March 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to our 6.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) to effectively convert $100.0 notional amount of our $350.0 2014 Notes from fixed rate to floating rate debt. In April 2011, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement related to the 2014 Notes to effectively convert an additional $100.0 notional amount of our 2014 Notes from fixed to floating rate debt. In May 2011, we terminated all of the interest rate swaps related to the 2014 Notes, which were settled for a total of $2.7, received in cash, which included accrued and unpaid interest. Upon termination of these swaps, a debt premium equal to the swaps' fair value of $2.3 was recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the debt and will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2014 Notes, resulting in an annual effective interest rate of 5.8%. Credit Facilities On May 31, 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our credit agreement originally dated as of July 18, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), increasing the commitments of the lenders to $1,000.0 from $650.0, and extending the Credit Agreement's expiration to May 31, 2016. Additionally, the amendments modified our financial covenants, and provided additional flexibility with respect to, or eliminated, certain covenants such as restrictions on acquisitions, capital expenditures and restricted payments. In addition, the cost structure was reduced. We were in compliance with all of our covenants in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2011. The financial covenants in the Credit Agreement require that we maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, certain financial measures for the four quarters then ended. Because we had received investment-grade ratings from two of the major credit ratings agencies as of June 2011, we are not required to satisfy a minimum EBITDA financial covenant and do not have limitations on restricted payments. The table below sets forth the financial covenants in effect as of September 30, 2011 and thereafter.
Convertible Senior Notes The conversion rates of our 4.25% Notes and 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the "4.75% Notes," and, together with the 4.25% Notes, the "Convertible Notes") are subject to adjustment in specified circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. During the second quarter of 2011, the conversion rate for our Convertible Notes was adjusted from 80.5153 to 81.3289 as a result of the cumulative effect of the cash dividends declared and paid on our common stock during the first half of 2011, resulting in a corresponding adjustment of the conversion price from $12.42 to $12.30. There were no additional adjustments required to the conversion rate in the third quarter of 2011. Capped Call In November 2010 we purchased capped call options to hedge the risk of price appreciation on the shares of our common stock into which our 4.75% Notes are convertible. During the second quarter of 2011, the strike price and cap price related to the capped call options were adjusted due to the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. There was no additional adjustment required to the strike price and cap price in the third quarter of 2011. As of September 30, 2011, the options give us the right to purchase up to 16.3 shares of our common stock at a strike price of $12.30 per share (previously $12.42), except that the economic value of the net proceeds of exercising the options will not exceed the difference between the strike price and the adjusted cap price of $18.08 per share (previously $18.26). Convertible Preferred Stock The conversion rate of our 5 1/4% Series B Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock")is also subject to adjustment in specified circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. During the third quarter of 2011, the conversion rate for our Series B Preferred Stock was adjusted from 73.1904 to 74.4500 as a result of the cumulative effect of the cash dividends declared and paid on our common stock during the first nine months of 2011, resulting in a corresponding adjustment of the conversion price from $13.66 to $13.43. |

| Acquisitions | Acquisitions We continue to evaluate strategic opportunities to grow and to increase our ownership interests in current investments, particularly in our digital and marketing services offerings, and to expand our presence in high-growth and key strategic world markets. Our acquisitions typically provide for an initial payment at the time of closing, and certain of these acquisitions include additional contingent purchase payments based on the future performance of the acquired entity. Due to the characteristics of advertising, specialized marketing and communication services companies, our acquisitions typically do not have significant amounts of tangible assets, as the principal asset we typically acquire is creative talent. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions is allocated to identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer lists and trade names, and goodwill. During the first nine months of 2011, we completed fifteen acquisitions, which included a public relations company in Brazil, digital marketing agencies in Australia and the United Kingdom, and a social media agency in the United States. Of our fifteen acquisitions, thirteen are included in the Integrated Agency Networks (“IAN”) operating segment and two are included in the Constituency Management Group (“CMG”) operating segment. During the first nine months of 2011, we recorded approximately $75.0 of goodwill and intangible assets related to these acquisitions during this period. During the first nine months of 2010, we completed five acquisitions, which included a premier full-service communications agency in the United Kingdom and a media and digital marketing service company in Brazil. Of our five acquisitions, four were included in the IAN operating segment and one was included in the CMG operating segment. During the first nine months of 2010, we recorded approximately $58.0 of goodwill and intangible assets related to these acquisitions during this period. The results of operations of our acquired companies were included in our consolidated results from the closing date of each acquisition. Details of cash paid for current and prior years' acquisitions are listed below.
Many of our acquisitions also include provisions under which the noncontrolling equity owners can require us to purchase additional interests in a subsidiary at their discretion. The following table presents changes in our redeemable noncontrolling interests.

| Supplementary Data | Supplementary Data Accrued Liabilities The following table presents the components of accrued liabilities.
2004 Restatement Liabilities As part of the restatement we presented in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2004 Restatement”), we recognized liabilities related to vendor discounts and credits where we had a contractual or legal obligation to rebate such amounts to our clients or vendors. Reductions to these liabilities are achieved through settlements with clients and vendors, but also may occur if the applicable statute of limitations in a jurisdiction has lapsed. As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had vendor discounts and credit liabilities of $68.7 and $82.5, respectively, related to the 2004 Restatement. Other Income (Expense), net Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include certain items which are not directly associated with our revenue-producing operations.
Sales of Businesses and Investments – During the third quarter of 2011, we received net proceeds of $133.5 from the sale of approximately half of our holdings in Facebook, Inc. (the "Facebook transaction"), a cost-method investment, and recorded a pre-tax gain of $132.2. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2011, we recognized a loss relating to the sale of a business in the domestic market within our IAN segment. During the first nine months of 2010, we recognized a loss primarily related to the sale of one of our European businesses within our IAN segment. Vendor Discounts and Credit Adjustments – We are in the process of settling our liabilities related to vendor discounts and credits established as part of the 2004 Restatement. These adjustments reflect the reversal of certain of these liabilities as a result of settlements with clients or vendors or where the statute of limitations has lapsed. Share Repurchase Program In February 2011 our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0 of our common stock. In August 2011, the Board authorized an increase in the amount available under our share repurchase program up to $450.0 of our common stock. We may effect such repurchases through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, derivative transactions or other means. We expect to continue to repurchase our common stock in future periods, although the timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and our other funding requirements. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. Since the inception of our share repurchase program we have repurchased 27.0 shares that have settled through September 30, 2011, at an average price of $9.97 per share and an aggregate cost of $269.0, including fees. |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our effective tax rate of 24.5% was positively impacted primarily by the ability to utilize capital losses to offset nearly all of the $132.2 capital gain realized from the Facebook transaction. The capital gain enabled us to utilize capital loss carryforwards, on which a 100% valuation allowance had been previously established, and capital losses attributable to worthless securities in a consolidated subsidiary. In addition to the positive factors noted above, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of 26.2% was positively impacted primarily by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the settlement of the 2007-2008 IRS audit cycle, tax efficiencies from entity consolidation in the Asia Pacific region and the loss relating to the sale of a business in the domestic market. The effective tax rate was negatively impacted by state and local taxes, losses in certain foreign locations where we receive no tax benefit due to 100% valuation allowances and the net establishment of valuation allowances, primarily in Europe. We have various tax years under examination by tax authorities in various countries, such as the United Kingdom, and in various states, such as New York, in which we have significant business operations. It is not yet known whether these examinations will, in the aggregate, result in our paying additional taxes. We believe our tax reserves are adequate in relation to the potential for additional assessments in each of the jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxation. We regularly assess the likelihood of additional tax assessments in those jurisdictions and, if necessary, adjust our reserves as additional information or events require. With respect to all tax years open to examination by U.S. federal, various state and local, and non-U.S. tax authorities, we currently anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by an amount between $3.0 and $13.0 in the next twelve months, a portion of which will affect our effective tax rate, primarily as a result of the settlement of tax examinations and the lapsing of statutes of limitations. This net decrease is related to various items of income and expense, primarily transfer pricing adjustments. We are effectively settled with respect to U.S. income tax audits for years prior to 2009. With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to state and local income tax audits for years prior to 1999, or non-U.S. income tax audits for years prior to 2004. |

| Incentive Compensation Plans | Incentive Compensation Plans We issue stock-based compensation and cash awards to our employees under a plan established by the Compensation and Leadership Talent Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and approved by our shareholders. We issued the following stock-based awards under the 2009 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2009 PIP”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee granted performance cash awards under the 2009 PIP with a total target value of $71.1. Of this amount, awards with a total target value of $31.8 will be settled in shares upon vesting. The number of shares to be settled on the vesting date will be calculated as the cash value adjusted for performance divided by our stock price on the vesting date. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee granted cash awards under the Interpublic Restricted Cash Plan with a total target value of $3.2. Cash awards will be amortized over the vesting period, typically three years. |

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
There were no changes to our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011, and September 30, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value.
The following tables present additional information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which we utilize Level 3 inputs to determine fair value.
Level 3 reductions primarily consist of cash payments made related to unconditional obligations to purchase additional equity interests in previous acquisitions, which are classified within the financing section of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Level 3 additions relate to unconditional obligations to purchase additional equity interests in previous acquisitions for cash in future periods. Realized losses included in net income for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests and foreign currency derivatives are reported as a component of interest expense and other income (expense), net, respectively, in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards Goodwill In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended guidance for performing goodwill impairment tests, which is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, and we expect to adopt this guidance for our 2011 annual goodwill impairment test, which is performed as of October 1, 2011. The guidance amends the two-step goodwill impairment test by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors in determining whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We do not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for performing goodwill impairment tests, which was effective for us January 1, 2011. The amended guidance requires reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to be assessed to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. As part of this assessment, entities should consider all qualitative factors that could impact the carrying value. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Multiemployer Pension Plans In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosure requirements related to an employer's participation in multiemployer pension plans, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The amended guidance requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures for entities with significant pension plans that multiple employers may contribute to. We do not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance for presenting comprehensive income, which will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. We may elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair Value Measurements In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance for measuring fair value and required disclosure information about such measures, which will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012, and applied prospectively. The amended guidance requires an entity to disclose all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as well as provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amended guidance requires an entity to disclose the fair value hierarchy level which was used to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, but for which fair value information must be disclosed. We do not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The amended guidance for Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements was effective for us January 1, 2010. The amended guidance for Level 3 fair value measurements was effective for us January 1, 2011. The guidance requires disclosures of amounts and reasons for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 recurring fair value measurements as well as additional information related to activities in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance expanded the disclosures related to the level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities and information about inputs and valuation techniques. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue Recognition In March 2010, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus related to guidance when applying the milestone method of revenue recognition. The consensus was issued by the FASB as an update to authoritative guidance for revenue recognition and was effective for us January 1, 2011. The amended guidance provides criteria for identifying those deliverables in an arrangement that meet the definition of a milestone. In addition, the amended guidance includes enhanced quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the arrangements when an entity recognizes revenue using the milestone method. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2009, the EITF reached a consensus related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The consensus was issued by the FASB as an update to authoritative guidance for revenue recognition and was effective for us January 1, 2011. The updated guidance revises how the estimated selling price of each deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is determined when the deliverables do not have stand-alone value. In addition, the guidance requires additional disclosures about the methods and assumptions used to evaluate multiple element arrangements and to identify the significant deliverables within those arrangements. The amended guidance did not have a significant impact on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. |

This element represents the portion of the balance sheet assertion valued at fair value by the entity whether such amount is presented as a separate caption or as a parenthetical disclosure. Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item represents Available-for-sale Securities which consist of all investments in certain debt and equity securities neither classified as trading or held-to-maturity securities. A debt security represents a creditor relationship with an enterprise. Debt securities include, among other items, US Treasury securities, US government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, convertible debt, commercial paper, and all securitized debt instruments. An equity security represents an ownership interest in an enterprise or the right to acquire or dispose of an ownership interest in an enterprise at fixed or determinable prices. Equity securities include, among other things, common stock, certain preferred stock, warrant rights, call options, and put options, but do not include convertible debt. An entity may opt to provide the reader with additional narrative text to better understand the nature of investments in debt and equity securities which are categorized as Available-for-sale.

Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Company may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
