M&C Saatchi nabs MBCS creative duo
M&C Saatchi has appointed a new creative duo, who join from Mediabrands’ Content Studio.
Copywriter Abby Clark and art director Laura Murphy have been at the Mediabrands agency for six months, after originally working together at digital and tech-focused customer experience agency, CX Lavender.
Clark spent nearly three years there, starting in 2021 as a trainee business executive, before moving into a role as a copywriter. Murphy started at CX Lavender a year later, joining as a designer, before moving into an art director position in 2023.
The pair were recently runners-up in the Cannes Young Lions Digital competition.
