All things Ogilvy South Africa
Rather clever use of digital billboard advertising by British Airways and the team at our Ogilvy London office.
As British Airways planes fly over the billboards, they trigger advertising creative showing real-time data of that plane, including destination and flight number. The billboard even uses data from a weather feed to get the cloud height, ensuring the plane is visible before showing the ad.
Incredible work from Ogilvy Brazil for Dove, our very own ECD Chris Gotz says it’s one of the best pieces of work he has seen for a long time.
They found that only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful, and that women are their own worst beauty critics. To help show women that they are more beautiful than they think, Dove conduct a social experiment using a FBI-trained forensics artist, that explored how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see.

Wonderful video showing how the Luxury brand Burberry has been successfully evolving into a digital / social / mobile first retail company. The clip lets Angela Ahrendts, their CEO tell the story of how Burberry has been fundamentally changing the way they do business.
Great to see other companies first learning and evolving the digital culture internally, then translating those learnings into the public, is a smart way to go.
Excuse the salesforce.com punt, but great video none the less.
Great work from the Ogilvy Paris team for iconic fashion brand Louis Vuitton. The ads pay tribute to The Greatest – Muhammad Ali. The below two greatest words spots are spoken
by word Artist Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), and calligrapher Niels Shoe Meulman and revisit the poems spoken by Muhammad Ali.

Well done to BBH, New York for their inspirational work above for The NYC Rescue Mission. They gave a voice to homeless people by giving them a phone, a twitter account, and then asked them to talk to people online about their day to day life. This post is filed under work we wish we had done.
