  • Impactful Advertising

    More is expected of the modern brand than to merely exist as the public face of a business. The successful brand of today upholds values that align with its key audiences. We create ideas for our clients’ brands and businesses that win people's attention, create affinity at scale and drive action at the last mile, fueling business and societal growth.

  • AdTech & Data

    Implementing the latest and buzziest technology to simply check a box is a fast-track to disaster and irrelevance. It’s about knowing what’s right for each individual brand and for the business as a whole. We audit, develop, and deploy the right Ad-Tech Stack solutions for your brand and business.

  • Dynamic Content & Context

    The modern brand needs to produce a steady stream of content that is relevant to people in moments big and small, broad and personal. We create and deploy content that is creative in nature and fit for all channels, purposefully personalized, and efficiently produced.

Who We Are

Ogilvy was founded in 1948 as one office. Today, we operate as a creative network in 132 locations across 83 countries. In the course of this growth, the world has become effectively unrecognizable from what it once was. Ogilvy has been there every step of the way, shepherding the world’s most successful brands through the uncertainty and helping them adapt and stay relevant for the long-term.  

Since setting foot in Hong Kong back in 1972, our Greater China practice has grown rapidly, serving a network of powerful international and Chinese companies. Over the 5 decades we’ve been present in this region, we have never lost sight of our purpose in the world: we exist to make brands matter. 

We have succeeded because, despite the massive shifts that have occurred over the years, we have always operated in the way David Ogilvy envisioned. He created a corporate culture that deeply respected and cared about its people and its clients. We honor his legacy by operating with that same commitment.

Our core values remain at the heart of everything we do. They are not a set of rules, but beliefs. They are our DNA. They inform how we go about our daily lives that help set expectations of the kind of work we create, and the kind of people we hire. We know that as long as we live our values, we will do great work. Our values have gotten us far, and they will take us ever further into the future. We live this as one force, indivisible. We are: Pervasively Creative, Adaptively Connected, Relentlessly Curious, Divinely Discontented, Eternal Crafts people.

We are Ogilvy.

Because our greatest asset is, has always been, and will always be our people. 

Our founder, David Ogilvy, proudly described our creative network as the “teaching hospital”. He envisioned Ogilvy as a place where professionals not only do great work, but come in each day with the possibility to learn and the ability to practice and hone their craft. 

Learning & Development plays an important role in creating this atmosphere. 

Today, Ogilvy's global Learning & Development team continues to build on David's legacy by equipping our employees with all the tools they ne

Nothing is more important than our people. We take our responsibility to them seriously, and a critical part of that responsibility is that we bring our values to life, every day to every employee. Oglivy is divinely discontent, committed to eternal craft, and relentlessly curious—to that end, we must give our people every possible opportunity to grow. That includes taking on a new challenge in a new place.  Global Mobility is part of our promise to put our people first. We understand that many people join Ogilvy for career growth and opportunity. 

Along the way, some employees may want to move into new crafts, enhance their current skills or explore new markets. We believe our employees deserve the chance to challenge themselves wherever those challenges may take them. Thus, we are proud to offer our Global Mobility program.  

The Global Mobility program gives every Ogilvy employee visibility and access to open Ogilvy job postings and roles across our entire global network. Every year, we move more than 100 employees into new positions in offices around the world. We believe in one connected network that allows every person to explore their strengths and navigate their professional careers. Our Global Mobility program ensures that we offer our employees every possible avenue to grow as professionals and people.

Fellowship

Launched in 2009, the Fellowship Program is Ogilvy's annual recruitment initiative dedicated to young talent. The program is targeted towards high-potential university graduates and young talent within two years of graduation and allows them to rotate across different departments of the company for 1 year, gathering first-hand experience by working with our creatives, planners, account managers, designers and strategists.

Our Founder David Ogilvy said: “Encourage innovation. Change is our lifeblood, stagnation our death knell.” We are looking for the next generation of leaders, creative minds and innovators to continue uphold this spirit and push creative boundaries to new levels.

Who We Are

Ogilvy was founded in 1948 as one office. Today, we operate as a creative network in 132 locations across 83 countries. In the course of this growth, the world has become effectively unrecognizable from what it once was. Ogilvy has been there every step of the way, shepherding the world’s most successful brands through the uncertainty and helping them adapt and stay relevant for the long-term.  

Since setting foot in Hong Kong back in 1972, our Greater China practice has grown rapidly, serving a network of powerful international and Chinese companies. Over the 5 decades we’ve been present in this region, we have never lost sight of our purpose in the world: we exist to make brands matter. 

We have succeeded because, despite the massive shifts that have occurred over the years, we have always operated in the way David Ogilvy envisioned. He created a corporate culture that deeply respected and cared about its people and its clients. We honor his legacy by operating with that same commitment.

Our core values remain at the heart of everything we do. They are not a set of rules, but beliefs. They are our DNA. They inform how we go about our daily lives that help set expectations of the kind of work we create, and the kind of people we hire. We know that as long as we live our values, we will do great work. Our values have gotten us far, and they will take us ever further into the future. We live this as one force, indivisible. We are: Pervasively Creative, Adaptively Connected, Relentlessly Curious, Divinely Discontented, Eternal Crafts people.

We are Ogilvy.

Grow With Us

Ogilvy’s mission is to make brands matter. We believe the best way to do that is by fostering a community of inclusion made up of people from diverse backgrounds, where all contributions are valued, and where every employee has the chance to become their best creative and professional self.

Because our greatest asset is, has always been, and will always be our people. 

Our founder, David Ogilvy, proudly described our creative network as the “teaching hospital”. He envisioned Ogilvy as a place where professionals not only do great work, but come in each day with the possibility to learn and the ability to practice and hone their craft. 

Learning & Development plays an important role in creating this atmosphere. 

Today, Ogilvy's global Learning & Development team continues to build on David's legacy by equipping our employees with all the tools they ne

In a world that not only requires new ideas but also new capabilities to bring those ideas to life, our training programs develop our people’s abilities to tackle the greatest challenges faced by our clients. We utilize our global resources to deliver blended learning that embodies our founder culture. We offer a wide range of programs focused on deepening our employees' knowledge, enhancing their expertise and helping them make the best of their talents.  

We believe that fostering a good employee experience is critical to the sustainable development of a company. Whether our people view Ogilvy as a lifelong home, or simply an important step in the development of their careers, we ensure that they will always be able to learn and grow into even stronger, more well-rounded professionals.  Every year on June 23, we hon
