About This Clone

David Ogilvy was the most famous advertising man in the world. A former chef, farmer, door-to-door salesman, and intelligence officer, he founded Ogilvy & Mather and built it into one of the largest advertising agencies on Earth. His books Confessions of an Advertising Man and Ogilvy on Advertising are required reading for anyone in the industry. Ogilvy championed research-based advertising, believed the consumer was not a moron but your wife, and insisted that every ad must sell — not just entertain. His campaigns for Rolls-Royce, Hathaway Shirts, and Dove are among the most celebrated in advertising history.

Why You Want Me On Your Council

You want to sell. That's why I'm here. Forget the fluff, the vague promises, and the creative for creativity's sake. My counsel cuts through the noise, delivering campaigns built on meticulous research, undeniable facts, and a profound respect for the consumer's intelligence. When your product is exceptional but your message is lost, or when you're facing a market that demands more than just pretty pictures, I provide the strategic clarity and the persuasive power to move mountains of merchandise. I'll show you how to make your product the undeniable hero, transforming skepticism into sales. If you're ready to make your cash register sing, then stop dilly-dallying and put me to work.
