Lifetime employability

Note, we didn’t say Lifetime Employment. What we do offer is an environment that gives you the training, experience, and knowledge that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life, whatever you choose to make of it.

A communications job that blends art and scienceThere are creative people who use their talent to create great communication ideas. Then, there are "techies," who devise sophisticated solutions for manipulating data, leveraging the power of the Internet, and making data drive decisions. If you have ever thought that you felt confined by being expected to work in only one dimension of thought, then Ogilvy is probably the place for you.

A friendly, informal, and freethinking atmosphere

We do not value bureaucracy, but we do value ideas. If you have good ones, then this is an exciting place to work. You will have the opportunity to see your ideas take wing, and develop from scraps and straws in a discussion to full-blown business ideas––and sometimes, when we get those ideas really right, they can completely change our client’s business.

An international perspective

We have some Japanese clients, and will have more, but we also work with many of the world’s most famous brand names - IBM, American Express, and Unilever. We take knowledge and experience from all over the world and look at how to change and apply this in a Japanese context. Therefore, we benefit from a constant interchange of ideas, concepts, working practices, and people from anywhere and everywhere.

A merit-based career

We hire and promote on merit. If you are good at your job, and make your mark, you can expect to rise up in Ogilvy as fast as you deserve. We give people responsibility and trust, based on their maturity, skill, and wisdom, not on their age or tenure. In many ways, we are still a small business, and, therefore, we can run ourselves accordingly in making flexible decisions and acting quickly.
