Says Tom Dery, M&C Saatchi worldwide chairman: "After 12 fantastic years at M&C Saatchi Graham and Ollie have decided to start up their own venture. Obviously their contribution to the agency has been immeasurable over such a long period - several generations in this industry.

"Their work has been acknowledged by award juries worldwide and everyone who has ever worked with them has enjoyed the experience. We wish Graham and Ollie all the very best."

What a team, I love working with these guys, hopefully if I suck up like this I'll be able to do more with them in the future.

What an agency could be set up with all the talent that leaves that place.

Glen said:

Great guys, and Graham has a truly bent mind for such a nice bloke. He's still the only person I know to successfully sell an empty package. Congrats to you both, and the best of luck.
