M&C Saatchi has welcomed a new creative duo into the agency with the appointment of Abby Clark and Laura Murphy.

Clark joins the agency as a Copy Writer, while Murphy takes up the roles of Art Director. The duo previously work together at IPG's Mediabrands Content Studio, after first joining forces at indie shop CX Lavender.

M&C Saatchi's National Executive Creative Director, Scott Dettrick, said: "We are excited to welcome Abby and Laura to the team. They are both curious and provocative thinkers with a keen eye for what's coming next in advertising. We look forward to seeing the great work they will undoubtedly produce."

M&C Saatchi Group operates across four core capabilities: creativity and communications, PR and partnerships, brand and experience, and media and commerce. The Group has a global footprint, with operations spanning 23 countries and major hubs in the UK, Europe, US, Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

"We believe in creating ideas that solve business problems to create an advantage for our clients and genuinely impact society. The unique capabilities of M&C Saatchi Group allow us to deliver this in exciting new ways," said Clark.

"We’re thrilled by the opportunity to collaborate within such a dynamic environment and draw on the diverse capabilities to offer connective creativity from our new home," said Murphy.
