Ogilvy South Africa is a privately owned advertising agency headquartered in South Africa with approximately 630 employees. Founded in 1976 as a separate entity by Bob Rightford, Brian Searle-Tripp, and Roger Makin, it merged with the global Ogilvy & Mather network in 1984. The agency's history includes a period of significant creative success, particularly during the leadership of Robyn Putter in the 1990s. Ogilvy South Africa serves a range of clients, including KFC, Volkswagen, SABMiller, BP, DStv, and Mondelez International, and is a subsidiary of the larger Ogilvy organization, which traces its origins to David Ogilvy's 1948 founding.
