About David Ogilvy 

David Ogilvy (1911-1999), referred to in 1962 by Time as “the most sought-after wizard in today’s advertising industry,” is considered to have been one of the dominant thinkers in the field. Known as the “Father of Advertising,” he was born in England, educated at Eton, and served in the Scots Guards during WWII. He attributed the success of his advertising campaigns to meticulous research into consumer habits. His most famous campaigns include Rolls-Royce, Dove soap, and Hathaway shirts.
