Ogilvy Reportedly Cutting 700 Jobs in 2025, Part of Strategic Overhaul - Samfiru Tumarkin LLP

What’s Happening at Ogilvy?

Ogilvy is reportedly eliminating approximately 5% of its workforce, or around 700 jobs, as part of a strategic overhaul.

“Ogilvy is sharpening its edge by streamlining our global operations and further integrating WPP Open, our powerful AI platform, across every facet of our business,” a statement to Sustainability Magazine reads.

“This strategic evolution, while requiring some tough but vital changes, is designed to empower our teams, boost our creative effectiveness, and ensure we continue to deliver unparalleled excellence for our clients in today’s rapidly evolving market.”

As part of the restructuring, the WPP-owned agency plans to dissolve its global diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) team.

It remains unclear if any Canadian employees at Ogilvy are affected by the latest round of job cuts.

According to LinkedIn, the agency has more than 70 workers in the country.
