Saatchi & Saatchi: Double (Advertising) Agents?

Still trying to figure out how Labour could have been so hilariously vacant in producing the Gene Hunt/David Cameron own goal?

Well ...

The Telegraph, April 3rd.

Labour’s Ashes to Ashes poster was created by Jacob Quagliozzi, 24, a Labour supporter from St Albans, who entered a competition organised by the party’s advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, which invited supporters to meet a brief posted online last weekend.
The Times, 26th March.

The Conservatives have brought back Maurice and Charles Saatchi, Baroness Thatcher’s favourite advertising gurus [...]

The party insisted that it had not dropped its main agency, Euro RSCG, but that M&C Saatchi had been hired to carry out specific projects.
As well as an M Saatchi, is there a Q Saatchi, and a 007 Saatchi, too?
