In the past year, we were able to achieve outstanding results as a company, and support our clients in achieving their communication and business goals; thanks to steadfast decisions made during the pandemic by these two companies, and dedicated teams that crafted innovative campaigns under the most trying and unprecedented circumstances,â he stated.
Ogilvy Digital won the highest award in the category this year, for working to expand its footprint amidst the challenges of the past year. Ogilvy Digital leaned on its excellent technical and organizational infrastructure and human capital, to deliver superlative results through premium services, which was welcomed by clients.

âSuccess at Ogilvy has always been about its peopleâ, said Lalith Sumanasiri, Managing Director of Ogilvy Media and Ogilvy Digital. âFacing two major challenges in back to back years, our focus was on staff wellbeing. We knew that aligning our business goals with providing an excellent platform for our people to thrive and grow, will be good for us. None of our staff were laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we enabled them to thrive in the âworking from homeâ environment until health restrictions were minimized, and they in turn have turned in superior work that has kept the Ogilvy flag flying high,â he added.
