Until the brothers hit the apex of the ad world, no one questioned their claim to have a grand strategy that would turn their empire into a finely tuned global machine.

Sorrell, who had grown restive as a Saatchi subordinate, has since assembled an agency group, WPP, with annual revenues of $1.2 billion.
