Ogilvy Named 2024 Network of the Year by the Clio Awards

NEW YORK, NY, MAY 1, 2024 - On May 1 at the Clio Awards ceremony, Ogilvy was named the 2024 Network of the Year. In total, the network earned 92 Clios, including 2 Grand, 13 Gold, 33 Silver, 44 Bronze, and 37 Shortlist. It marked the second consecutive year that Ogilvy earned the Clios' Network of the Year honor.

"Winning Network of the Year at the Clios is an incredible feat. To do it back-to-back? That's something special," said Global Chief Creative Officer Liz Taylor and Deputy Global Chief Creative Officer Joe Sciarrotta in a joint statement. "We're truly in awe of the collective effort we've seen from everyone across the network that led us to earning this incredible honor. Over the past year or so, we've watched big ideas grow into undeniable ones, brought to life with incredible execution."

Two Ogilvy campaigns distinguished themselves by earning Grand Clio status. DAVID Madrid's "Breathe Through It" campaign for Halls won Grand in the Audio Craft - Copywriting category. The radio spot follows a young employee who mistakenly sends a chat to his work group which includes the boss, prompting a wave of anxious thoughts that they get through by breathing. Ogilvy Hong Kong also earned a Grand for its campaign "Undercover" for the organization Women Helping Women, in the Audio - Voice Activated Technologies category. Undercover is the first app specifically designed to detect domestic violence by recognizing the language used in abusive situations. Using AI, the app can determine if an incident is escalating and send an emergency alert to a pre-determined, trusted contact.
