What Ogilvy does

Ogilvy Greece operates as a full-service advertising and communications agency headquartered in Athens (Gerakas), delivering integrated marketing services through five core pillars: Advertising, Public Relations, Ogilvy One (Performance Marketing, CRM & Data), Health, and Consulting. The agency is the Greek operating entity of the global Ogilvy network, itself part of WPP (London-listed), and is structured through multiple legal entities including Bold Ogilvy A.E. and subsidiary practices covering creative, PR, performance, health, and design/production. Its work spans brand strategy, creative advertising, PR and earned media, healthcare communications, performance marketing, CRM, branded entertainment, and consulting, executed for major Greek and international enterprise clients across telecommunications (Cosmote/OTE), banking (Eurobank), aviation (Aegean), consumer goods (Lacta/Mondelez, Dove/AXE/Unilever, Nescafé), automotive (Toyota Hellas), retail (IKEA Greece), and Greek government ministries.

The agency employs 300+ advertising and communications professionals and operates under a professional services fee-based revenue model with project- and contract-based pricing negotiated individually with enterprise clients. New business is acquired through direct sales outreach, new business pitches, and long-term account management; no public pricing is disclosed. Distribution is entirely direct B2B enterprise engagement with no self-service or productized offering. The agency's underlying technology stack combines data-driven CRM and first-party data via Ogilvy One, dynamic advertising and content creation across paid/owned/earned media, and increasingly AI-assisted video production tools (notably Google's VEO3 used in the BOX "Epic Points" and Greek Ministry of Transportation "Greek Islands are Beautiful" campaigns) integrated via the WPP OPEN Platform.

With 40+ years of continuous presence in the Greek market, Ogilvy Greece has accumulated 1,377+ Ermis Awards and 81+ Effie Awards domestically, alongside 10 Cannes Lions, 3 Clio Awards, 8 London International Awards, and 3 Webby Awards internationally. Recent wins include the Grand Clio (Clio Health 2026) and Bronze Lion at Cannes 2026 for Toyota "Escape Vehicle," a Gold Lion at Cannes 2022 and Grand Effie for Lacta "Don't Ever Leave Me," and a Bronze Lion at Cannes 2024 for the Greek Ministry of Education "Stop Bullying." Quantified campaign outcomes include a +13.5% sales lift for Lacta, +60% participation increase for Cosmote's Robotics Competition, and documented regulatory impact (Dove "Dear Influencers" campaign led to changes in Greek advertising law on filters/retouched images). The agency is GDPR-compliant and operates an ISO 27001-aligned information security program.
