Background and ownership

Siegel+Gale was founded in 1969 by Alan Siegel, an advertising, public relations and design-trained executive, and Robert Gale, a designer. The company was first operated out of Siegel's apartment in New York City. Gale sold his share of the firm in 1974.

In 1988, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Saatchi & Saatchi, the global brand advertising and marketing firm. After 10 years, Siegel+Gale organized an employee buy-back of the firm in association with a venture capital firm and Fleet Bank (now owned by Bank of America, Inc.).

In 2003, the firm was acquired by the large marketing and communications company, Omnicom Group Inc.[5]
