In 1948, David Ogilvy founded the agency that would become Ogilvy & Mather. Starting with no clients and a staff of two, he built his company into one of the eight largest advertising networks in the world with more than 500 offices and 20,000 staff across 169 cities. Ogilvy South Africa’s origins lie with a small hot shop in Cape Town, founded by Bob Rightford, Brian Searle-Tripp and Roger Makin in 1976. After merging with Ogilvy in 1984, Ogilvy & Mather RS-TM dominated the local creative scene during the first decade and over the next twenty years was recognized as a brand-focused agency that acted with integrity. During the 1990’s, Ogilvy South Africa soared creatively under the leadership of Robyn Putter (1950-2010), who eventually went on to become the global creative head of WPP. Today, Ogilvy South Africa is the leader in the industry, focused on building and transforming brands. Employing more than 900 staff across three offices, Ogilvy remains true to David’s vision; we still see ourselves as a company that does more than ads and have proven that by maintaining our humility and an almost divine discontent at our past successes, we can do more than stay relevant. For more than 50 years, Ogilvy South Africa has created iconic advertising for clients such as KFC, VW, SAB, BP, DStv and Mondelez amongst others, and we continue to live by our founders credo of existing to “Make brands matter”.

After 81 years as a family-owned media company, RamsayMedia joined the Caxton stable as an independent subsidiary in March 2014. Already a shareholder for several years, Caxton and CTP Printers and Publishers became outright owners of the highly regarded company, paving the way for the retirement of chairman Alan Ramsay at the age of 71. Over time, the company – dedicated market-leading, special interest publishers – expanded from a stable of dominant magazine brands into a true multi-platform enterprise with a vast array of digital and mobile opportunities, events, exhibitions, an audiovisual production division and a variety of related media channels. At present, the company’s versatile portfolio embraces the automotive, travel, science and technology, sport and lifestyle markets – and competes in all three primary publishing categories: customer, consumer and business to business (B2B.) In all instances, these titles bear the hallmark of RamsayMedia: contemporary design and entertaining editorial of the highest quality, creating a powerful bond with readers, viewers and visitors. In 2008, the company was rebranded from Ramsay Son & Parker to RamsayMedia, reflecting the natural evolution of a media company rising to the challenge of a changing landscape – and coinciding with an investment in the company by CTP Caxton. With a reputation for excellence and a legacy of satisfied business partners, clients and readers, RamsayMedia is the leading choice in specialist publishing.
