The ARF David Ogilvy Awards is the premier awards competition that honors research- and insights-driven advertising.
The awards pay tribute to the late David Ogilvy, known as the “father of advertising,” and founder of the Ogilvy agency. With these awards, we celebrate his forward-thinking belief in the importance of research behind effective creative.
In a world where it is harder to get consumer attention and conversion, marketers seek creative that is grounded in strong insights. A spark of inspiration also contributes to great advertising – powerful creative doesn’t originate from data alone. This is where the ARF David Ogilvy Awards shine—in highlighting the art and science of great creative.
Command industry attention, honor your team and enter now to join an illustrious group of past winners, including Samsung, ESPN, PepsiCo, J.M. Smucker Co., TikTok, GS&P, VML, Google, Ipsos, and more.
From start to finish, this program embodies a year-round dedication to excellence in research-driven advertising.
