To celebrate David Ogilvy’s 100th birthday, Ogilvy have launched a fun iPhone app that allows any aspiring creative to pitch ideas via video call, straight to the great man himself. If you’re onto a good idea, you’ll know almost instantly, with praise from David Ogilvy among the rewards, but if not, and your idea sucks, he’ll let you know in no uncertain terms…
The app was crated by Ogilvy Asia / Ogilvy Digital Lab, and is available on the App Store for free. So download that and have a crack to celebrate David Ogilvy’s 100th birthday.
That looks like a pretty lame app…
It sure is a wonderful way for Ogilvy to now source and then steal great ideas!!!
The Ogilvy ran out of ideas and ask help of the audience. All conversations are analyzed and transmitted to the Ogilvy’s creative service. =)
this is a lame idea …
seems like Ogilvy Asia / Ogilvy Digital Lab have a lot of spare time on their hands. I’d prefer to be working on client material myself
Seems like you are a bit pissed off that Ogilvy & Labs creates great works for our clients and even win Campaign Magazine’s Digital Agency of the Year in Asia AND we still have the time to create cool work for ourselves that is a fun tool for any creative regardless if you are at Ogilvy or not.
Hilarious! The voice-over makes Ogilvy sound as if he went to school in Eton. Ogilvy was just an ad agency wide-boy. Get real!

I this this is a great app that will be inspiring to everyone in the creative industry
And the ideas go straight to him?
And he lets you know what he thinks?
According to this he’s 100 years old. But the guy in the picture looks half that.
Something doesn’t add up!

What a waste of time, and an example of producing and app for the sake of it. It’s intentions are only for a bit of fun (I get it) but am sure his birthday could have been celebrated with something a lot better. Disappointed.
Just when you think the Ogilvy network cannot disappear any further up their own arses….
