Their breadth of expertise in the consumer tech space, the strategic and creative approach in their response and the talented, seasoned team, made this a great fit for us. I’m excited by the fresh thinking Ogilvy PR will bring to our work and confident that together we will achieve our vision of driving education and affinity across a range of important audiences, and creating cut-through brand and product moments that will enable us to connect with our community, partners and stakeholders.”
