The Indian television industry has grown rapidly, especially since 1991, which saw the
beginning of satellite broadcasting in India. This growth was also aided by the economic
liberalization program of the Government. The growth of the satellite television audience
saw proliferation of a number of satellite television channels offering more choices to
media buyers and consumers of entertainment. Thus, the television broadcasting
business, which started off as a single government controlled television channel, now has
over 300 channels covering the Indian footprint, resulting in growing ad spends on this
medium. Reforms and proliferation of private players were the key reasons for this rapid
growth of the share of television in the advertising industry.
Similarly, sectoral reforms and increased number of players could drive market expansion
for emerging media segments including radio, outdoor, cinema and internet.

The core philosophy of Bates David Enterprise is founded on 'change' and going forward, this
new entity will be constantly evolving to meet new needs that emerge from ever changing
consumer behaviour. It will reinvent itself almost on an ongoing basis by bringing in new skill
sets in digital, change planning, etc.

expansion also provides an opportunity for a larger bank of clients to work with Ogilvy. Currently
Meridian is a mid-strength operation, says Piyush Pandey, executive chairman and national
creative director O&M (India & South Asia).

Relatively Ogilvy:
The closest that other agencies could get to Ogilvys tally were JWT with a total of 50
points, Lowe Lintas with 45 points and Mudra Group with 35 points.
- http://www.exchange4media.com/e4m/news/fullstory.asp?section_id=1&news_id=36755
&pict=1&tag=1863
This statement clearly proves Ogilvys mettle. No match to Ogilvy, but surely
everybodys trying. Last year, JWT walked away with the agency of the year with its
Lead India campaign while Ogilvy was relatively on a lull. But with the magic of the Zoo
Zoos, it has revived its lost glory. JWT also has to its credit the prestigious Grand Prix
award for its Lead India Campaign at Cannes International Advertising Festival.
Ogilvy is known to be the most local among internationals, the most international
among locals. To enumerate this, in any area it can be observed that Ogilvy is the ace
player in the regional market. With its debut into smaller areas like Landscapes and
hoarding, it spells competition even to the regional player in the place.
The Zoo zoos have done wonders for the agency in terms of sales, revenue and brand
identity. Other notable campaigns rolled out during the year include BINGO wafers,
Bajaj PULSAR- IM THE MAN, DOVE- REAL WOMAN CAMPAIGN among others.
But all of this reflects one thing. Only a brainchild as Zoo zoo can save or help revive
Ogilvys stature. It will surely emerge as the winner, but only at the cost of a zoo zoo
every year while its contemporaries are climbing the ladder to success at a faster pace.

Financial Insights about Ogilvy India:
Annual sales of US $ 28 .6 million in 2001.
O&M closed financial year 2007 with revenue of Rs 228 crore, a 25 % jump over
FY06.
According to John Goodman, a former director of Ogilvy India, the core ad
business would contribute 65 per cent to agency revenues, non-traditional
sources like interactive, out-of-home and PR account for the rest; a big change
from the 80:20 ratio a few years ago.
"More than 50 per cent of Ogilvy's revenue comes from new media.- Shelly

SWOT ANALYSIS OF OGILVY
8/2/2019 1.)Bent 10 Student Report o&m
28/33
28
Strengths:
Brand Equity:
The services offered by Ogilvy definitely promise brand awareness. This is very evidently
reflected through its previous client record. Every company would kill for such brand
awareness or brand identity as assured by Ogilvys advertising. This brand equity is
amply reflected through the inception of sister concerns like Meridian Advertising and
Bates David. For example, Kotak Securities is a financial firm whose ad responsibilities
are under the aegis of Ogilvy. Axis Bank is a client of Meridian. Despite knowing that
Ogilvy handles the ad business of their competitors, either of these brands are willing to
associate themselves with the same agency.
Unique style of Advertising
There is no denying that Ogilvy is unique. A product when advertised by Ogilvy rarely
goes unnoticed.
Creativity
No better illustrations than the zoo zoos, Center shock, Sprite ads to demonstrate their
creative brilliance.
Integrated Marketing Solutions
Ogilvy offers 360 degree marketing solutions to their clients encompassing an integrated
marketing approach right from packaging to public relation activities.

Weaknesses
Old School Concept of Advertising:
Ogilvy tends to lack attempts when it comes to methods of advertising. It should be
noted that they are extremely creative in terms of ideas for print and television
commercials. However, creative ideas in the domain of public events, hoardings etc is a
lull relatively. This can tantamount to them being stereotyped as old school or
clich.
Very High Premium Charged:
The recession balled the advertising industry into heavy losses as many companies are
resorting to PR related activities for promotion. This is a garnered cost cutting strategy.
Under such trying situations, Ogilvy should amend their remuneration increase its own
revenue and identity.
8/2/2019 1.)Bent 10 Student Report o&m

Opportunities
- Political Marketing is one domain that is least explored by an Indian advertising agency.
They definitely cannot chalk out a political campaign. However, they can foray intomaking television commercials or Print ads for political parties. This will improve their
brand awareness apart from increasing their brand identity.
- Social Advertising: Ogilvy unlike JWT did not get an ooportunity to do a Lead India or a
Jaago Re. It should pitch in for such ooportunities as they play a major role in
garnering revenues and improving Ogilvys visibility.
- Web Marketing: Shelly Lazarus in an interview stated that half of its revenues are
pumped from the new media. Relatively, this area has been less experimented byOgilvy. They should foray into this domain for Ogilvy, its literally Macanas Gold.
Threats
- Recession has deeply hit the ad world. Companies are resorting to PR activities for
promotions as a part of cost cutting strategy. This could be a major threat to theadvertising agencies, especially Ogilvy. Despite India showing all signs of recovery, PR
can be a threat to the advertising industry in todays times.
- Cut throat competiton is an understatement for Ogilvy. Especially this year. With JWT
bagging the limelight with the LEAD INDIA campaign and its Grand Prix at Cannes 2008
and also bagging the agency of the year award at Grand Effies 2009. The Grand Prix is
especially a benchmark for JWT, for record has it that JWT is the first Indian Agency to
bag such a prestigious award. Zoo zoos did revive Ogilvy from this slit throat race.However, it should not neglect JWT for it is all but showing signs of a tough contender
for the top position.

OBSERVATIONS, ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Ogilvy and Mather India is a powerhouse for brand building and advertising. It houses
Indias best creative talent. It has adapted every possible marketing solution for its
client. The client neednt look elsewhere after Ogilvy. Hoarding, web marketing, PR,
mainstream advertising- everything is taken care of. Truly, a 360 approach to
marketing.
However, from my experience with Ogilvy and this research, Ogilvy can adapt to new
norms to enhance its business prospects.
1) Ogilvys market research branch is small. It often depends on its clients for
research related inputs. For 360 degree solutions, market research support is
very vital. Ogilvy does have such support but it is comparatively not so extensive.
This department of Ogilvy can be worked upon.
2) A Lead India did wonders to the profile of its competitor JWT. More than a sales
jump, the campaign touched millions of hearts. JWTs image as a
PHILANTHROPIC organization or good deed to the society per se has improved
invariably. If Ogilvy can come up with such a strategy, there would be no looking
back for it.
3) Competition as analyzed is very stringent for Ogilvy. A brainchild like zoo zoo is
the standard expected to maintain its position.
4) Ogilvys PR branch can be improved manifold in terms of their activities.
Recession has prompted a lot of companies to resort to PR activities that
mainstream advertising.
5) Ogilvy experiments with TV and Print ads relatively more than any other media. It
should foray into such domains. For example gang of girls concept did wonders
to the concept of online marketing.
