Business
M&C Saatchi plc (LSE: SAA) operates as a global creative solutions company and the world's largest independent creative network, delivering advertising, marketing, branding, public relations, direct marketing, digital advertising, mobile marketing, research agency services, TV production, sports sponsorship, media representation, and communications activities powered by creativity, data, technology, and proprietary tools such as the AI-driven Cultural Power Index. The company, founded in 1995 and headquartered at 36 Golden Square in London, England, maintains operations across six regions and 22 countries including Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and UK, with major hubs serving clients in building famous brands, driving growth, and addressing business and societal challenges through specialisms in constant creativity, brutal simplicity of thought, growth engineering, and cultural connectivity. Recent developments include the strategic acquisition of Dune 23, an award-winning sports agency in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in May 2025, marking the group's first M&A in seven years and bolstering its fastest-growing Middle East region; the acquisition of The Women's Sports Group in October 2025 to enhance sports advisory, media rights, and women's sport capabilities; leadership strengthening with high-quality additions in strategy, innovation, digital experience, and consulting; new client wins such as Stockland, Screwfix, Mas+, GoPuff, and the US Soccer Federation alongside expanded scopes with JP Morgan, adidas, and Ballantine's; progression of a £12 million annualised cost-saving programme; and a planned £5 million share buyback programme over the next 12 months amid trading impacts from the US government shutdown and rejection of an unsolicited approach for its Performance division.
