The veteran chief executive of M&C Saatchi, the top London advertising agency, is to step down, marking the latest phase of a leadership overhaul at the group.
Sky News has learnt that Moray MacLennan, who has worked for M&C since it was founded in 1995, is to retire from the company in the coming months. M&C is expected to announce plans to kick off a search for his successor in a statement to the London Stock Exchange on Monday morning. The announcement will come just weeks after Zillah Byng-Thorne, the former boss of The Week's publisher, Future, joined M&C as chairman.He began his career at Saatchi & Saatchi in 1983, joining the eponymous brothers and two other top executives when they broke away to form the rival group 12 years later.
He led myriad notable ad campaigns, including a general election drive for Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, and was also an architect of the ill-fated Remain campaign during the Brexit referendum.
