About Ogilvy
Ogilvy is advertising's most famous surname for a reason. David Ogilvy founded it in 1948 and wrote the rules half the industry still quotes — "the consumer isn't a moron, she's your wife" — while building icons like the man in the Hathaway shirt and a long association with brands that wanted intelligence as well as persuasion. Today's Ogilvy, part of WPP, is a sprawling global network spanning advertising, brand, experience, PR, social and health, and the modern crown jewel is the Dove "Real Beauty" platform, one of the most durable brand ideas of the century.
What the name still buys you is reach plus a deep craft heritage — one-fifth of the Fortune 500 is a lot of trust. The trade-off is the inevitable one for a network this large: the brilliant work and the merely competent work both fly the same flag, and which you get depends on your team. But Ogilvy at its best remains capable of the kind of brand-building that outlives the campaign.
