About

Top-tier global PR agency within the WPP/Ogilvy network, competing for Fortune 500 and multinational brand mandates

Ogilvy PR is the public relations division of Ogilvy, one of the world's most storied advertising and communications networks, itself a subsidiary of WPP, the global advertising holding company. Founded as an extension of David Ogilvy's original agency, Ogilvy PR offers a full spectrum of communications services including media relations, crisis communications, corporate reputation management, influencer marketing, digital and social media strategy, and public affairs. The agency operates across dozens of offices globally, serving multinational corporations, government bodies, and leading consumer brands. Within the broader AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, Ogilvy PR occupies a significant position as a premium, integrated communications partner. It bridges traditional PR disciplines with modern data-driven storytelling, earned media strategies, and digital influence campaigns. The agency leverages Ogilvy's broader creative and media capabilities, as well as WPP's extensive technology and data resources, to deliver measurable communications outcomes for clients across industries including healthcare, consumer goods, technology, finance, and luxury. Ogilvy PR competes with other major global PR networks such as Edelman, Weber Shandwick, Burson (formerly Burson-Marsteller and Cohn & Wolfe, now merged), and FleishmanHillard. Its competitive differentiation lies in its deep creative heritage, global footprint, and integration with Ogilvy's broader advertising, consulting, and experience capabilities, making it a preferred partner for brands seeking cohesive, cross-channel communications strategies.
