Philip Heimann

I believe that creativity matters. That borderless creativity is the engine that drives business transformation. Throughout my career, I have worked to foster cultures on both the client and agency side where creativity flourishes and is directed to drive demonstrably better business results. I’ve seen the effectiveness of this approach through my work with a range of global companies including Coke, Netflix, Volkswagen, Dove, Harvey Nichols and SC Johnson among others.

Having had the unique opportunity to work across every continent, I bring a unique global perspective to brand building and what it takes to authentically connect brands to culture around the world. Over the past 25 years I have had the opportunity to hold a diverse range of positions across various markets—from working as a global WPP brand leader, leading Ogilvy Paris advertising to serving as Ogilvy’s head of new business and marketing in EMEA and leading new business for DDB UK prior to that.

Creativity has no borders, which is why Ogilvy is such a powerful partner for brands. With a creative network that has 132 offices in 83 countries, Ogilvy has the unique ability to tailor teams around the world to help our clients make their brands matter today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.
