Liz Taylor, Ogilvy’s global chief creative officer, said, "What a way to close out what was a wonderful year for Ogilvy. We're proud that, together, these wins span a diverse set of categories and executions, showcasing the strength of our global network, our capabilities, and ability to drive impact for our clients in unique and meaningful ways. We are immensely proud of our teams who contributed to this collective success, and we’re so thankful for our clients for their continued belief in the power of creativity. And we’d love to extend a special congratulations and gratitude to Ogilvy North America, Ogilvy APAC, Ogilvy PR, Ogilvy New York, VML & Ogilvy Japan and the CeraVe team for their accomplishments. Together, this was a true demonstration of Ogilvy's Borderless Creativity and its ability to drive unique impact for our clients."

Barbara Levy, president of LIA, said, “This achievement by WPP and Ogilvy shows the commitment of a global network to the power of creativity. Its offices across the regions have demonstrated the same drive to make the best creative impact for their clients. Ogilvy Taipei, for instance, won a Grand LIA for Pharma & Medical. It is a shining testament to the strength of Ogilvy across the world. Congratulations to WPP for winning Holding Company Of The Year two years consecutively. And Ogilvy for winning Global Network Of The Year four years running. Well done!”

This LIA sweep culminates a year of exceptional industry recognition for Ogilvy, further solidifying its position as a creative powerhouse. Ogilvy’s accomplishments also helped WPP become Holding Company of the Year.
