Wow Ogilvy. You’re really going all in on fake ads? This is one of many of their LinkedIn posts that regularly feature scam/awards focused print ads. Where’d these run Ogilvy?

He might have high standards but I don’t know one ad agency person who doesn’t like him. Great reputation. So he’s tough…and?

I feel sorry for Ogilvy. Giant network... yet they only have the resources and capabilities to try to win awards for campaigns of 3 scam print ads like this ... or Kiwi shoe polish ... or WWF. All non-paying clients who would never actually run a print ad.

Where's the real innovation? The campaigns that truly impact culture?

The network has been stripped so lean to pay shareholders their dividends that they are forced to grasp at straws like this.

I don’t know if the ACD is referencing this but pretty much all Singapore’s scam work would run for a night in Kuala Lumpur cos the media buy was so much cheaper. It’d literally be a 0:40 slot on the KL TV station for one night that would then magically get gold at the Internationals

Nothing against these kind of prints in general but it’s a bit different when they involve a war.

How are you so sure these didn’t run? Health agencies can easily partner up with pro-bono clients and do this kind of work. Take Area 23 as the perfect example.

At best, they “ran” and Ogilvy arranged — or even paid — for them to run once in a small paper and on some digital OOH.
