Ogilvy’s remit will include global strategic and creative duties for the brand, focusing on its lead market priorities, with the ambition to accelerate its leadership position. The Swedish vodka is recognized as a leading premium vodka brand, associated with promoting progressive values since its inception in 1879. The brand is well-known throughout the industry for its sound commitments in terms of sustainability. By applying its one source, one community approach, Absolut emphasizes its origin and close connection to the area that surrounds the distillery, which is one of the world's most energy efficient. An important part of Absolut Vodka's strong heritage is also the brand's creative advertising, through decades of collaborations with fashion designers and artists including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Andy Warhol, Tom Ford, Keith Haring, Stella McCartney and Anne Imhof. Ogilvy was awarded the business after a competitive pitch with an undisclosed roster of global agencies that was led by Tad Greenough, Global Chief Creative Officer, with support from the Observatory International, based in London. Tad Greenough, Global CCO Absolut said: “Absolut has an incredible legacy of creating extraordinary and unexpected communications, of being a cultural provocateur. As the brand continues to see tremendous momentum globally, we wanted a network partner that can deliver the strategic and creative excellence that Ogilvy has demonstrated time and time again.” Andy Main, Ogilvy’s Global CEO, said: “Ogilvy is proud to be chosen by Absolut, a globally iconic brand, to be their creative partner for growth.
