Dive Insight:
Ogilvy & Mather North America certainly earned the recognition from AdAge with its innovative campaigns. It's not always easy to be creative in B2B marketing, but O&M pulls it off. AdAge was also smart to point out that the agency's success was due in large part to a deep commitment to clients. When it boils down, that commitment has to be at the center of any successful campaign or it will fall flat.
