Let’s Make the World a Fairer Place by Abovegroup Ogilvy

At Abovegroup Ogilvy, we believe in making the world a brighter place. A key tenet of that vision is making the world a fairer place.

That’s why we strongly believe that discrimination in any form - race, religion, culture, gender, socio-economic background and sexual orientation, is unacceptable.

While the right to free speech is sacred, the spread of misinformation targeting specific groups and encouraging discrimination is a clear abuse of this right. We’re disheartened by what we have seen recently in the press, paid advertising or not. Apart from being completely at odds with what is actually true, the advertisement is divisive and an embarrassment.

At this point in our nation’s history, we need to always act in ways to bring us together, rather than drive us apart. We need to push aside the forces of intolerance and bigotry, and accept that only together can we achieve what we aspire to as a nation.
