Location: London

Contact&nbsp;type: Permanent

Full Time/Part time: Full Time

Reporting into: Consulting Director

About Ogilvy:&nbsp;

Ogilvy UK has been creating iconic ideas that deliver impact at scale for clients ever since David Ogilvy founded Ogilvy in 1948. Ogilvy UK specialises in bringing together brand advertising, customer experience marketing, PR, influence and consulting, all fuelled by Behavioural Science. Our world-class award-winning creative campaigns deliver solutions for clients&nbsp;including Molson Coors (owner of Madrí beer), Valeo Foods UK (owner of Kettle Chips and Rowse Honey), Argos, Mondelēz International, Unilever, TK Maxx and Pernod Ricard. &nbsp;

In 2023, Ogilvy UK celebrated their 75th anniversary and was the most awarded agency in Europe. Ogilvy is home to the largest influencer marketing practice globally and hosts the world’s biggest festival of behavioural science and creativity, Nudgestock – now in its 14th year.&nbsp;

The Role:

Within our Behavioural Science practice, we research and apply the latest thinking in cognitive psychology, social psychology, and behavioural economics – bringing together behavioural science and creativity to solve some of the world's most interesting and important challenges with the world's most influential organisations. We believe in the power of counter-intuitive thinking, daring to be trivial, and the idea that the opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea — principles drawn from the many gospels of our Behavioural Science founder, Rory Sutherland.

Whether designing the next generation of healthy snacks, empowering men to call out misogyny, or leading global sustainability initiatives, we create effective interventions, communications, and experiences for clients across the public, private, and third sectors.

We work across all sectors and categories including healthcare, technology, financial services, manufacturing, automotive and retail. Our clients include Nestlé, Mondelēz, Google, The Coca-Cola Ogilvy, Mayor Of London, Odeon, Sainsburys, Jaguar Land Rover and many more. You can read more about our work in our annual publications: https://www.Ogilvy.com/ideas/annual-2024-years-biggest-behavioral-science-case-studies

As the curators of the world’s largest festival of behavioural science and creativity, now in its 14th year, we are at the global forefront of the ever-evolving landscape of Behavioural Science in marketing: https://nudgestock.com&nbsp;

A bit about you:&nbsp;

Our Consultants typically have four-to-six years of experience in consulting, behavioural science, or client-side strategy roles and have relevant degrees.
