Early History
Edit
Lane had been raised in a strict London household (mostly under his father). In his adult years, he met the girl of his dreams and eventually married her. She later gave birth to their son.
At some point he earned a degree in advertising and landed a job at Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe. While there, he became their go-to man to handle recent mergers and takeovers.
Sterling Cooper
Edit
When Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe purchased Sterling Cooper, Lane was sent to be financial officer in New York City.
A New Company
Edit
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce was formed in December 1963 when it became clear that McCann Erickson was going to purchase Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe. After the merger would occur, Lane was slated to be sent to India. Lane was convinced to free Don Draper, Bertram Cooper, and Roger Sterling from their employment contracts to start a new advertising agency.
After being fired, they began to collect their portfolios to convince the companies to move to their new firm. They were able to convince Pete Campbell, Peggy Olson, Harry Crane and Joan Harris to join the new firm.[2]
