After working for other advertising firms the two brothers established their own company in 1976. With the support of American investors Saatchi & Saatchi pursued a policy of buying out competing firms with lucrative established contracts. In 1990 a board room coup saw the brothers leave the company and set up a new firm M&C Saatchi.
