Ogilvy promotes Victoria Day

The London office of Ogilvy has promoted Victoria Day to Managing Director for Ogilvy Advertising UK. Following her promotion, Day will focus on driving growth for Ogilvy’s advertising business in the UK.

As Managing Director, Advertising, Day will also continue to champion the award-winning creative work undertaken by the Ogilvy team, as well as driving integration with the other businesses and developing Ogilvy’s content offering in the UK. In her new role, Day will be reporting to Fiona Gordon, CEO, Ogilvy UK, and Antonis Kocheilas, Global CEO, Ogilvy Advertising.

“Over the past few years, Victoria has become an invaluable member of the team here at Ogilvy , both as a leader and a driving force for change,” said Gordon. “Victoria has shown she has the skills to help grow Ogilvy’s advertising business in the UK and I cannot wait to see her thrive in this new role.”

Day previously held the role of Managing Partner & Head of Account Management at Ogilvy and joined the agency in 2018 as MP on the flagship Boots account, later adding the award-winning Sipsmith and Post Office accounts to her portfolio. In 2019, Day took on the additional role of Head of Account Management where she has been a driving force behind the roll out of training and D&I initiatives. Most recently, she was also instrumental in the restructure of the department, bringing teams from across the business together to create the Cannes-winning Relate campaign, this year's Sipsmith campaign for Wimbledon, and helping challenger brand Save Money Cut Carbon grow.

“Ogilvy is full of the most talented, creative, interesting people I’ve ever worked with, I am thrilled to be part of this team and take on this new role,” said Day. “We have so much momentum right now, with new work coming out which the team is incredibly proud of – and rightly so. And everyone has so much energy for the future that I know the best is yet to come."
