Martin And Wynne-morgan Resign From M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment
Steve Martin and Jamie Wynne-Morgan have both left M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment.
Both Global CEO Martin and UK CEO Wynne-Morgan have been at the London-headquartered sports and entertainment agency since its inception in 2004.
During the pair’s two decades at the helm, M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment has won Agency of the Year at the FEVO Sport Industry Awards a record seven times – including at the most recent 2023 event – in addition to countless other award wins, achievements and accolades.
Neither were available for comment, however, it’s rumoured that Martin and Wynne-Morgan will look to establish a new agency in the near future.
In a joint statement, M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment Managing Partners Ross Watson and Jenny Mitton (left), who currently oversee the sport division, said, “We will always be indebted to Steve and Jamie and the agency they built over the last two decades, and it is with the same passion and dedication that they first brought, that we look ahead to the next two decades of success and growth.
Today, we have more clients, more offerings, more people, and more expertise than we’ve ever had before. As a discipline-neutral, passion marketing agency, we are now strengthening this expertise by embedding our passions specialism within the heart of the M&C Saatchi Group.”
As a result of these two key departures, the agency has created a new division in M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment Europe, led by Europe and Italy CEO, Carlo Noseda.
Noseda will be supported by M&C Saatchi UK chair Richard Thompson, who will also serve a non-executive chair of the new division.
