Pitch David Ogivly Mad Men Style In New iPhone App
The one person that everybody looks up to in the world of advertising is David Ogilvy for his vision and the high standards he set for the industry. The great man would just be turning 100 if he was still alive and to celebrate that momentous date Ogilvy have created a simple and fun app that allows you to pitch ideas over your phone to the father of advertising (Which I first spotted here). It’s a simple (and free) app to download and once installed on your phone you simply have to either call of video conference Ogilvy where he then asks you to pitch your idea. It feels very much like a scene from Mad Men and even though you are talking in to a phone to an animated person who has been dead for some time you can feel the pressure start to mount in the room. Ogilvy gives his answer pretty sharpish about your idea and doesn’t hold back if he doesn’t think it is good enough but will quickly embrace you and give you the backing you need if he thinks it is good enough. I love seeing other agencies marketing themselves in creative ways and thinking about themselves in the same was as they would about their clients. The app is simple and will only entertain you for a couple of minutes but getting to pitch to a legend like Ogilvy is well worth it.
