Ogilvy Bolsters Leadership Team for Global Unilever Business

Ogilvy works across several of Unilever's brands including Dove and Hellmann's among others. This year Unilever and Ogilvy celebrated the 20th anniversary of Dove's "Campaign for Real Beauty." Over the past two decades, the brand has been a trailblazer in demonstrating how marketing can impact society while driving impressive commercial results. In fact, Unilever was recently named Creative Marketer of the Yearat the 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, an accolade presented to a marketer that has amassed a body of iconic, Lion-winning work over a sustained period.

Born and raised in Cape Town, Camilla Clerke's work is a testament to the power of creative problem-solving. Throughout her time as an Executive Creative Director for Ogilvy South Africa, she hasn't just created campaigns; she's built immersive worlds, captured attention, and inspired people to think differently. With "Bride Armour" for Carling Black Label, she led a team in tackling the epidemic of Gender-Based Violence in South Africa by designing a wedding gown that could withstand all forms of abuse, and hijacking South Africa Fashion Week, turning heads and sparking a national conversation. Her ingenuity in transforming beer byproducts into high-protein bread for Castle Lager with "Bread of the Nation" showcased the power of creativity to drive business results while having a positive impact on communities.

Her ability to captivate consumers and juries alike is reflected by the array of Lions, Loeries, Bookmarks, Webbys, D&AD Pencils, FWAs, and One Show awards she has won. She's also graced the panels of prestigious festivals like Cannes Lions, Dubai Lynx, and the Loeries, lending her discerning eye and championing the next generation of creative minds. Camilla's influence has extended beyond award ceremonies. She has held coveted positions on the IAB and Creative Circle in South Africa, and the ABInBev global creative board, shaping the industry with her innovative vision. Her impact has earned her recognition as one of Creativepool's Top 100 Creative Industry Influencers, solidifying her place as a leading voice in the creative world. Camilla's journey, much like a captivating short story, began with a detour - a near miss with the world of accounting that led to her escape into the exhilarating landscape of advertising. It was here that she discovered her true calling: crafting stories that spark change and resonate deep within the human experience.
