During World War II, David Ogilvy worked for the British Intelligence Service (BIS) at the British embassy in Washington, DC. There he analysed and made recommendations on matters of diplomacy and security.
he extrapolated his knowledge of human behaviour from consumerism to nationalism in a report which suggested 'applying the Gallup technique to fields of secret intelligence Eisenhower's Psychological Warfare Board picked up the report and successfully
put Ogilvy's suggestions to work in Europe during the last year of the war."
Also during World War II David Ogilvy was a notable alumnus of the secret Camp X, located near the towns of Whitby and Oshawa in Ontario, Canada. According to an article on the camp: "It was there he mastered the power of propaganda before becoming king of Madison Avenue.
"Although Ogilvy was trained in sabotage and close combat, he was ultimately tasked with projects that included successfully ruining the reputation of businessmen who were supplying the Nazis with industrial materials.""
Ogilvy started his own advertising agency with the backing of Mather and Crowther, the London agency being run by his elder brother, Francis, which later acquired another London agency, S.H. Benson"
"David Ogilvy's entry into the company of giants started with several iconic advertising campaigns; former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt did a commercial for Good Luck Margarine in 1959."
In 1962, Time called him "the most sought-after wizard in today's advertising industry"
"In 1973, Ogilvy retired as chairman of Ogilvy & Mather and moved to Touffou, his estate in France. While no longer involved in the agency's day-to-day operations, he stayed in touch with the company. His correspondence so dramatically increased the volume of mail handled
in the nearby town of Bonnes that the post office was reclassified at a higher status and the postmaster's salary raised"
"Ogilvy came out of retirement in the 1980s to serve as chairman of Ogilvy Benson & Mather in India. He also spent a year acting as temporary chairman of the agency's German office commuting weekly between Touffou and Frankfurt."
In 1989, The Ogilvy Group was bought by WPP Group, a British parent company, for $864 million (US) in a hostile takeover made possible by the fact that the company group had made an IPO as the first company in marketing to do so.

@ThomasWelch15 So much to dig into from here. But I just wanted a quick and dirty overview of how many companies were already connected before C19, by only ONE company.
@ThomasWelch15 On OpenSecrets the Podesta lobbying firm was bipartison. On X, they are strongly linked with the Clintons and the Democrats. The real picture is far more complex.
@ThomasWelch15 And I'm now thinking that the demise of the Podesta Group in 2017 was a psyop. Tony Podesta is back in DC.
Let's go through some of the companies that Tony Podesta and his group of lobbyists in DC were working for in 2017 .. 🎶 opensecrets.org/federal-lobbyi…
