M&C SAATCHI ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF SPANISH AGENCY
Monday 16 April 2007

M&C Saatchi plc is pleased to announce the completion of our acquisition of 25%
of a Zapping Publicidad, S.A and its group of companies, a Spanish Marketing
Services group, with a commitment to acquire a further 50% over the next three
years. The Spanish group made a PBT of £0.9m in 2006.


David Kershaw, Chief Executive of M&C Saatchi plc, said:


'This transaction is consistent with the growth strategy we set out at the time
of our flotation - creating a global network for M&C Saatchi. We are pleased
that it increases our already strong offering in Europe, adding Spain to our
existing presence in UK, France and Germany.


Zapping is a tremendous group of companies in its own right, and will enable us
to increasingly compete for Pan-European business.'


Urs Frick, President of Zapping, said:


'Our agency is very proud to be joining the M&C Saatchi network, which is seen
as a leader in the global advertising industry. We look forward to building on
our success in the Spanish market as part of the M&C Saatchi team.'
