Ogilvy Beliefs:
- People
need regular OS upgrades: Even the best OS will be obsolete
tomorrow unless it's constantly upgraded. The same is true for people.
- We
need more cows than milkmen: We are a culture of practitioners,
not managers. We contribute before we comment.
- Creative
about creativity: Creativity is, and will always be, our
differentiator. Creativity now includes the holy trinity of
Data-Content-Tech.
- Diversity
is a competitive advantage: New profiles, new skills, and new
styles of leadership make us a stronger company.
- Collaborative
advantage > Competitive advantage: Find partners who are on
top of their game at the skill set we need. It's the only way to scale at
speed without pretending to have all the answers.
- Team
> Individual: You get a lot more done when everyone stops
worrying about who gets credit at the end. Teams succeed, individuals
fail.
- Fail
often, fail fast: We see the intrapreneur in all our people and
encourage a culture of pilots. Test, succeed, and scale; or fail fast,
learn from the failure, and start something new.
