“Over the past decade, Ogilvy has continually opened new and different opportunities for me from Washington DC to Dubai to NYC. Each of these offices and experiences contained the comfort and familiarity of the Ogilvy culture that permeates across the entire company. I've developed life-long friendships, been pushed out of my comfort zone, learned from colleagues with vast diversity of perspective, and worked with clients on the global and local level. My global experience has had an immeasurable impact on who I am today and made me a more effective leader. ”

Our people
David Ogilvy used to send every new head of an Ogilvy office a Matrioshka doll. As long as the leader opened every doll, in the last one, they would find a message, which has in time become one of our defining mantras: “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”
Our culture
We aim to foster a culture that differentiates. How do we do it? We have continued on the legacy of our founding culture and have stayed true to our founding principles and guidelines. We make sure to take care of our greatest asset—our people. Because we believe that superior service to our clients is dependent on the high morale of our staff. In addition, we have developed a habit of divine discontent. We never settle, and continue to strive to improve no matter the circumstances.
Our work
Stories are the lifeblood of our industry. And in order to tell great stories, you have to have big ideas. That’s why we foster an environment of Pervasive Creativity, where all of us are thinking and acting outside the box at all times. And it’s how we produce risk taking, mold-breaking work, work that creates a lasting connection between our clients and their audiences.
