Every year Ogilvy offices around the world produce numerous campaigns on a pro bono basis as well as for paying clients that address some of the world's most pressing challenges – from global warming to domestic violence to the AIDS pandemic to endangered wildlife. The work we do helps organizations recruit new members, raise money and publicize important issues.
Fourteen of these campaigns were selected by WPP for inclusion in their annual Corporate Responsibility (CR) Report and website. The work featured here ran in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. They have won awards, inspired movements and produced results for their respective causes.
