The Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency is an advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City.

History

Sterling Cooper was founded by Bertram Cooper and Roger Sterling Sr. in 1923.

In the Fall of 1962, the firm was merged with British firm, Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe.^[1]

Because of the impending sale of Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe to McCann Erickson, Lane Pryce was convinced to free Don Draper, Bertram Cooper, and Roger Sterling from their employment contracts to start Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.^[2]
