Jack Rooney Returns to Ogilvy to Lead Ogilvy Chicago and OgilvyAction NA

October 11, 2007 | 3:53 pm

CHICAGO, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Rooney is rejoining Ogilvy in a new role, becoming President of Ogilvy Chicago and CEO of OgilvyAction North America, overseeing Ogilvy Chicago's integrated offering.

"Jack is a true 360 agency executive," noted Shelly Lazarus, Chairman and CEO of Ogilvy Worldwide. "We're delighted to have him back."

Most recently, Jack was CEO of Campbell Mithun. Previously, he was EVP at GMR Marketing, a sports and event marketing company, and also worked on the client side in a senior marketing role at Miller Brewing. Prior to that, he worked at Ogilvy heading the global BP retail business from 2000 to 2002.

"The opportunity to return to Ogilvy was irresistible," said Jack Rooney, in commenting on his move.

Founded in 1976, Ogilvy Chicago, which includes Ogilvy & Mather and OgilvyOne, delivers 360 Degree Brand Stewardship to clients including Allstate, BP, Kraft and Unilever. The office recently brought home the Grand EFFIE for its work on the revolutionary Dove "Campaign for Real Beauty" and two Cannes Press Lions for Dove and Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois.

It has offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Durham, Minneapolis, Denver and throughout Canada.

It encompasses Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, OgilvyOne, OgilvyInteractive, Neo@Ogilvy, Ogilvy Healthworld, Ogilvy Public Relations, and OgilvyAction.
