About Ogilvy North America
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.
We have never lost sight of our purpose in the world: we inspire people and brands to make an impact.
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 if we live our values, we will do great work. Our people will learn and grow, explore their interests, and become the best versions of their personal and professional selves.
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 Craftspeople.
We are Ogilvy.
Work With Us
As our founder David Ogilvy put it, we seek people who are bigger and smarter than ourselves. That’s how we create a company of giants. We’re always looking for modern marketing and brand experts with big hearts and enormous talent.

Diversity & Inclusion
We firmly believe that a racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse workforce, where all perspectives are valued, leads to richer experiences for our people and better outcomes for our clients. Diversity has always been and will always be a part of Ogilvy’s DNA, our core values and our culture. Our founder David Ogilvy was an early advocate for diversity in the workplace. As Chairman of the United Negro College Fund in 1968, he set the agenda for the agency’s pursuit of inclusion in the workplace.
Diversity, inclusiveness, and explicit anti-racism are not just issues of policy at Ogilvy, but essential to our success and sustainability as a business. Diverse teams are better at solving complex problems—and employees who feel safe, welcome, supported, and valued for being their authentic selves are better able to do their very best work.
We are committed to providing an open and safe environment for everyone to thrive at Ogilvy regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, veteran status, ability, domestic violence victim status, age, citizenship, marital or domestic/civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
