Managing Partner

Ogilvy is a New York City-based British advertising, marketing, and public relations agency. It was founded in 1850 by Edmund Mather as a London-based agency. In 1964, the firm became known as Ogilvy & Mather.

The Challenge

The current managing partner was going on maternity leave so they needed someone just as senior who could work 4 days a week with a strong influencer and commercial background, This person also needed to start within 4 weeks so finding someone at this senior level who could move quickly was also going to be a big challenge.

The Approach

We looked through every creative agency at the social and influencer leaders, social and influencer platforms and ex-agency staff who held these positions to find someone that could come in and plug and play.

The Numbers

We reached out to one hundred and twenty six prospective candidates, sent the Client eight CVs, seven were interviewed and one was hired.   We were able to provide a great shortlist and we found the perfect candidate for the job within 3 weeks.

The Outcome

We knew this was not going to be a straight forward search as we needed someone who would be open to a part time very hands on role but was ready to walk into the business within 4 weeks We hired an awesome candidate who had run a global influencer marketing platform for 4 years, prior to this she was working within the agency world, leading teams of 20+ running all Client services and strategy.  .
