Curating David Ogilvy

September 21, 20222 min read

David Ogilvy was the greatest advertising man to ever live. He started his work life as a chef. Afterwards,  he sold stoves door to door. Then he moved to New York, at age 38, and founded what would become one of the world’s largest advertising agencies, Ogilvy & Mather.

I believe there are lessons to be learned from the giants. Men and women like Zig Ziglar, Dale Carnegie, Mary Kay Ash and Clara Barton left more than just legend behind … they left knowledge.

The more we learn those lessons, and apply them, the better we do. Even in our “always on” 21st century lives.

Here then are a few articles I have selected for you to enjoy. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Ogilvy’s Renegade Management Style

Ogilvy was more than just a great ad writer or “creative” (a term he hated). He was a great manager too, taking Ogilvy & Mather from a start up to one of the largest ad agencies in the world, with over 90 offices worldwide.
