ABOUT THIS ROLE:

Ogilvy Consulting is the strategy, innovation, and business growth arm of The Ogilvy Group. An enterprise-wide offer, we provide advisory services across Business Transformation, Marketing Transformation and Brand Transformation. We are a global network and bring agile and diverse teams of analysts, strategists, and consultants together at the intersection of brand, growth, innovation, and transformation. We also work closely with teams and businesses across Ogilvy including Advertising, Public Relations & Influence, Experience, and Health.
Within our Behavioural Science specialism, we research and apply the latest thinking in cognitive psychology, social psychology and behavioural economics – bringing together behavioural science and creativity to solve some of the world’s most interesting and important challenges with the world’s most influential organisations. We believe in the power of thinking counterintuitively, daring to be trivial, that the opposite of a good idea can be another good idea, and the many gospels preached by the founder of our Behavioural Science practice Rory Sutherland.
Whether tasked with improving the security of Europe’s busiest airports, changing how people interact with the most popular social media or leading sustainability projects across the globe, we create effective interventions, communications and experiences for private, public and third sector clients.
We work across all sectors and categories including healthcare, technology, financial services, manufacturing, automotive, retail. You can read more about our work in our Annual publications: https://linktr.ee/ogilvybesci
As the curators of the world’s largest festival of behavioural science and creativity, now in its 13th year, we are at the forefront of the ever-evolving landscape of Behavioural Science in the industry: https://nudgestock.com/
