Founded in 1995, M&C Saatchi is a top ten agency billing around £243million with over 300 employees. The agency was founded on a belief in Brutal Simplicity of Thought which continues to define the agency offering. In fact, each campaign we create is underpinned by a piece of brutally simple thinking which leads to a big, simple idea that can manifest itself in any communication discipline.

This way of working has led to demonstrably effective advertising, as evidenced this year when we have won more planning awards than any other agency. We work with a host of household names including NatWest, Dixons Group, Ribena and Lucozade as well as public sector organisations such as the Home Office, The Inland Revenue and Transport for London.

Our London office is also home to the M&C Saatchi Village – a group of companies which specialise in a variety of communications channels including PR, DM, sponsorship and digital.
