Ogilvy On

In this episode of the Ogilvy Podcast, we're joined by Iain Bundred, Managing Driector for PR and Influence at Ogilvy in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), who has a lot to say on the subject of fake news—starting with his disdain for the term itself. Learn the difference between "disinformation" and "misinformation," how to analyze whether a something is true or not, and so much more!

What is your data worth? By itself, probably not much. Add in some analytics and it becomes more valuable. But to get the most from your data, you have to ask the right questions at the right time and apply perspective and maybe a little patience to glean insights that can truly become transformative to your business. In this edition of the Ogilvy Podcast, we talk with Richard El-Hachem, Head of Knowledge and Intelligence in the Middle East/North Africa for Memac Ogilvy. Richard has spent his career in pursuit of insights. Listen along as he shares the fruits of his labor.

In this special edition of the Ogilvy Podcast, we replay a conversation with writer Lynn Biederstadt who retired this month after a decades-long career in the advertising industry. Lynn provides a personal and provocative look at the experience of being a women in the male-dominated world of advertising. From pill box hats to working on “women’s brands” to seeing a new generation of leaders emerge, we discuss what has—and hasn’t—changed since the glory days of Madison Avenue.

It’s just a matter of time before every company ends up on the front page, the victim of fake news, cyber attacks, natural disasters, or out-of-control executives-gone-wild. When you specialize in helping brands navigate through their toughest times, your perspective on the world changes. In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Calland, Client Partner and Head of Crisis and Issues, Ogilvy UK, for a candid discussion about how organizations can prepare for the Four Horseman of the Crisis Apocalypse and the emerging threat of deepfake-powered attacks.

Most people don’t equate Austin’s South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference & Festival with healthcare and medtech, but increasingly it’s a must-attend event for health innovators, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, payers, and health system leaders. At this year’s festival, Ogilvy and humble ventures hosted a “Digital Health Pop-Up” that one reviewer called “an actually interesting panel on digital health.” We’re joined by Ritesh Patel, Chief Digital Officer - Health & Wellness, Ogilvy Consulting and Peter Fasano, Managing Partner, Digital Transformation, Ogilvy Consulting for a fascinating discussion on the state of innovation in healthcare, the ingredients necessary to propel transformation, and the obligatory agency roundup of SXSW happenings.
