Who Are Ogilvy?

Ogilvy has been producing iconic, culture-changing marketing campaigns since the day its founder David Ogilvy opened up shop in 1948. Their vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world. They believe that in today’s world, this is the best way for their clients to achieve sustainable growth. 

They do this by breaking down the barriers that restrict talent and ideas.   Which is why their teams work fluidly across 5 capabilities: Advertising, Innovation, Experience, PR and Health.  Ogilvy scales this by seamlessly connecting and accessing the deep cultural expertise of 132 offices in 83 countries. 

The result is multifaceted ideas for their clients that drive impact and are born from the intersection of platform x culture x technology.  

They call this Borderless Creativity.
