Here’s what they said

Mario Morby said,

“Ogilvy is a groundbreaking agency, where creativity is part of the DNA. However, it also ranked as the Most Effective Agency Network in the world on last year’s Effie Index. My role is to ensure that effectiveness is embedded in the culture of the agency, making our work as impactful as possible, and to ensure our strategies embrace the cultural changes and new technology that is available to us, such as AI. When we say borderless, we mean creative excellence achieved through seamless collaboration. In a region with so much diversity and so many cultural movements taking place, I’m excited to have the power of borderless creativity to hand, helping me connect brands to people.”

Jon Marchant, Group President MENA at Memac Ogilvy, added,

“We are thrilled that Mario has joined us to continue raising the levels of our strategic and creative product and guiding the agency in future technology uptake. He has an award-winning track record in building strategy departments that uncover powerful local insights, true effectiveness, and original creativity. His ability to create impact and foster collaboration at all levels makes him the embodiment of borderless creativity.”
