Ogilvy Beliefs

  • People need regular OS upgrades: Even the best operating system becomes obsolete unless it’s constantly upgraded. The same applies to people.
  • We need more cows than milkmen: We are a culture of practitioners, not just managers. We contribute before we comment.
  • Creative about creativity: Creativity is our differentiator, now enhanced by the holy trinity of Data, Content, and Technology.
  • Diversity is a competitive advantage: New profiles, skills, and leadership styles make us stronger as a company.
  • Collaborative advantage > Competitive advantage: Partnering with top experts in their fields allows us to scale at speed without pretending to have all the answers.
  • Team Individual: Success comes when everyone stops worrying about individual credit. Teams succeed; individuals fail.
  • Fail often, fail fast: We encourage a culture of pilots. Test, succeed, and scale—or fail fast, learn from the failure, and start anew.
