About Ogilvy 

Ogilvy has been producing iconic, culture-changing marketing campaigns since the day its founder David Ogilvy opened up shop in 1948. 

Our vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world. To create big ideas that make a significant contribution to the planet, society, and the bottom line. We believe that in today’s world, this is the best way for our clients to achieve sustainable growth. 

We do this by breaking down the barriers that restrict talent and ideas.    

Which is why our teams work fluidly across 5 capabilities: Advertising, Innovation, Experience, PR and Health.  This allows us to not only operate but innovate at the intersection of capabilities and talent. We believe impact and magic lies at this intersection. Ogilvy scales this by seamlessly connecting and accessing the deep cultural expertise of 132 offices in 83 countries. 

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

We call this Borderless Creativity.
