Ogilvy Recognized as World’s Most Creative Agency Network by WARC for Fourth Consecutive Year
NEW YORK - MARCH 12, 2024 - Ogilvy is proud to announce that the World Advertising Research Center (WARC) has named Ogilvy the most creative agency network in the world, ranking it #1 on its Creative 100 for the fourth consecutive year. The WARC Creative 100 is the definitive benchmark for creative success based on results from the most prestigious global and regional industry competitions. Ogilvy Honduras's much-awarded "Morning After Island" for Grupo Estrategico PAE, which helped overturn Honduras's law banning emergency contraceptive medication, was named the most-awarded campaign of the year.Liz Taylor, Ogilvy's Global Chief Creative Officer, said: "Ranking as the most creative network on the Creative 100 for the fourth year reflects our deep belief that creativity is the ultimate differentiator and force multiplier. It's an outcome only earned because of the hard work, brilliance, and fearlessness of everyone at Ogilvy and our brave clients around the world. We are filled with gratitude and pride for the impact we have been able to create together this year."
"Seeing 'Morning After Island' rank as the most awarded creative campaign of the year, is a testament to the resilience of our team in Honduras and proof that creativity has no bounds. Creativity can drive business, shape culture, and impact policy - in this case it helped millions of Honduran women change the law so they can legally take the morning-after pill. It is an idea that continues to inspire us all," she added.
Eleven additional campaigns were ranked in WARC's Top 100 Campaigns, including "The Innocent Eyes" by Ogilvy Bangkok for Voiz (#18); "Corona Extra Lime" by DAVID Bogotá for Corona (#32); "The Hornicultural Society" by Ogilvy UK for Relate (#35); "Cost of Beauty" by Ogilvy UK and Ogilvy Toronto for Dove (#59); " Escape" by Ogilvy Frankfurt for Deutsche Bahn (#63); "The Art of Self Examination" by DAVID Buenos Aires for MACMA (#68); "Scratchboards" by DAVID Madrid for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (#69); "Burger Glitch" by DAVID São Paulo for Burger King (#72); "Toxic Influence" by Ogilvy's Unilever Team for Dove (#78); "The Fresh System" by Ogilvy Bogotá for Carulla (#82); and "Heaven Fish" by Ogilvy Honduras for Regal Springs (#84).
As a result, nine Ogilvy offices were ranked in the Top 50 individual creative agencies, contributing to the network's overall success: Ogilvy London (#5); DAVID Madrid (#9); Ogilvy Bangkok (#15); Ogilvy Honduras (#20); DAVID São Paulo (#26); DAVID Buenos Aires (#42); DAVID Bogotá (#45); DAVID New York (#47); and Ogilvy Frankfurt (#50).
