Agnieszka Wasilewska

Chief Operating Officer from January 2019. I had been working as a Client Service Director at Ogilvy since October 2014 till 2018 (promoted to Managing Director), as the head of the integrated customer service department. I am working in advertising since 2002.

I took my first steps in advertising at the agency TBWA, then I worked at McCann Worldgroup for ten years, between 2008 and 2012 as a Managing Director of the interactive agency MRM Worldwide, as well as a Partner in the integrated marketing agency Momentum Worldwide. In 2012, I took the position of Business Development Director, spearheading integrated projects of the agency’s key clients.

Change, this is what is important for me in the advertising and communication industry, and in particular having to adapt flexibly and respond to the shifting needs of consumers.
That is why my favorite David Ogilvy quote is: Encourage innovation. Change is our lifeblood, stagnation our death knell.

I’ve been working in the advertising industry since 2001. I started my adventure with Ogilvy 8 years ago as an Account Supervisor. Throughout these years I’ve learned how to build a great team and efficiently manage business. In January 2018 I was given an opportunity to become Business Director who is responsible for cooperation with agency’s Clients and for acquiring new business partners. I cannot imagine a more interesting and dynamic work that ties together the important areas related to how many brands and companies are functioning. I am constantly exploring new communicative tasks that continue to prove how this industry is changing, how consumers are evolving and how brands are expanding and becoming more personal. The ability to co-create new platforms with our Clients as well as manage strategy and production is a reward itself.

 

This business is very exciting, yet not easy, hence I appreciate the situational realism hidden in David Ogilvy’s words: Don’t expect your agency to pay for all the dry holes they drill on your behalf.

I’m a Strategic Director at Ogilvy since 1999.

I can say that from the time I started my adventure with advertising until today, everything has changed: the way we view how advertising works, what a creative brief looks like, communication channels… but it also seems like some things have not changed at all.

INSIGHT. Our small (or big) daily “wows”, are particularly important at a time when brands need to fight not only for visibility, but more importantly for the engagement of their consumers. We want to create a communication approach that brings value to people’s lives, and finding an answer to the question “why should the consumer care about what we do?”, becomes one of most the important challenges that we take on.

IDEA. The idea, which sells and builds a brand over the long-term. It’s not enough for a campaign to be simply “360”, rather, it must have a well-chosen message, and an appropriate point of contact, to break down existing barriers of behavior.

The psychiatrists say that everybody should have a hobby. The hobby I recommend is advertising. (David Ogilvy)

I do not wear suits. More often I wear lycra, but images of road routes I would not attache over here. You can find them on Strava, an application that I use when I ride a bike. I am into developing advertising communication for the last 13 years. “The idea is God” – I believe in it. Though however, where and how it will be used is really has crucial meaning. I like thoughts that, after years become even more relevant than when they were created: “In the modern world of business it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.” – David Ogilvy

Anna Chyłek

I am responsible for HR at Ogilvy since 2010. I deal with recruiting, planning, training, evaluations and many other issues which are more or less related to human resources.

My adventure with recruitment began more than 10 years ago, working as a headhunter. I serviced mainly large and local advertising agencies and marketing departments in the FMCG sector and pharmacy.

I completed a degree in psychology (UAM) and postgraduate studies in training policy (WSFiZ ), as well as how conduct training of cognitive skills (UW).

I’m lucky because I have the most interesting job in the whole agency.

My favorite David Ogilvy quote: When people aren’t having good fun, they seldom produce good work.

I have been working at Ogilvy & Mather since February 2016. I am responsible for the coordination, supervision, and direct organization of the reception desk, as well as all tasks related to the comprehensive care of office administration.

My favorite David Ogilvy quote: Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict and disease. They do not die of hard work.
