The campaign was for the Health and Education Council in 1969 and was titled "The pregnant man". Once Saatchi & Saatchi had formed and Sinclair had taken on his role, he was the mind behind the 1979 "Labour Isn't Working" campaign. He regularly devises political advertising campaigns for the Conservative Party, and created the "demon eyes" caricature of Tony Blair. He is also one of two directors of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. As part of the continued links between Saatchi & Saatchi and the Conservative party, Sinclair's political adverts have become well-known. His campaigns for Schweppes and the launch of Cosmopolitan magazine in the UK earned him international recognition with two Gold Lions at the Cannes Advertising festival. He has additionally won three silver awards at the Designers and Art Directors Association, and golds at the British Press Awards. Other interests and non-executive roles

He is the author of the book, Brutal Simplicity of Thought. The thesis of Sinclair's book is to strip creative thought back to ensure that advertising campaigns have maximum impact in their simplicity. Along with his wife Jacqueline, Sinclair authored the children's book Faces, Faces, Faces, published by Penguin Random House. The story explores the world of faces that children see in inanimate objects. The inspiration behind the book comes from previous artwork that his wife created, as well as her enjoyment of the children stories that Sinclair told their own children. Sinclair was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to advertising. References
