Founded in 1948 by advertising mogul David Ogilvy, The Ogilvy Group has long since established itself as a key company in the advertising world. The key belief at Ogilvy comes from the founder himself, who strongly believed that its job is to make advertising that sells, and advertising that sells best is advertising that builds brands.
Ogilvy has built itself on this principle. Over the past 50 years, Ogilvy has helped to build some of the most recognizable brands in the world: American Express, Sears, Ford, Shell, Barbie, Pond's, Dove, and Maxwell House among them, and more recently, IBM and Kodak.
Integrated in Ogilvy’s corporate culture is the concept of 360 Degree Brand Stewardship, which in definition means “a willingness to use the broadest array of tools and techniques to understand, develop and enhance the relationship between a consumer and a brand.” Ogilvy maintains this policy on both a local and global level.
Located in over 120 countries, Ogilvy is a subsidiary of the WPP Group, a global marketing communications corporation. The major offerings under The Ogilvy Group umbrella are Ogilvy & Mather, OgilvyOne (of which OgilvyInteractive and Neo@Ogilvy are fully integrated units), Ogilvy Public Relations, Ogilvy Healthworld and Ogilvy Activation. Each component contributes to the overall success of both the company and its clients.
