All things Ogilvy South Africa
In order to celebrate our year and welcome in the London Olympics we decided to throw an Ogilvy Olympics Party today (Friday). The Ogilvy family will be all dressing up in Olympic themed clothing so will be sure to share the pictures next week. We are also giving away a return trip to London for one lucky attendee, how many agencies give away prizes like that at a mid year party! Follow @OgilvyCT for pictures from the party and to see who wins the trip.
Our digital@Ogilvy team have just launched the Volkswagen Street Quest.
Street Quest is a Facebook challenge to find and ‘Pin’ as many Volkswagens on South African roads as possible, using Google’s Street View application. The game is played over four weeks and each week the user with the most correct ‘Pins’ will earn a spot in Street Quest Grand Final, a live playoff of the game, and stand a chance to win a R50,000 digital hamper including a MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone, and 46” Samsung LED TV.

This year, to celebrate Nelson Mandela day and to honour Mandela’s commitment to education, volunteers from Ogilvy Cape Town showed their support for a school in need – Thandokhulu Secondary School.
Together with some very enthusiastic pupils from the school we planted a total of ten trees, including a beautiful Yellowwood, learnt about how crucial trees really are on our planet, and, most of all, had fun giving back and doing something good.
