Ogilvy accused of over-billing - lawsuit

April 16, 2009

My friend at Media Bistro, Superspy has dug up the dirt on WPP group plc owned Ogilvy NY… according to the lawsuit (we have seen ourselves and can verify the contents of the PDF file).. that Ogilvy has been accused of over-billing their clients, wrongful termination of the whistle blowers and overall horrific ethics practices within the advertising agency.

In short, it paints the ad agency as a politically filthy institution that is ripe with internal politics and dirty tricks.

Truly dirty stuff… we wish them the best.. or at least what they deserve if proven true. Over-billing clients is a moral crime, if not a legal one.

    Official statement from Ogilvy:

    “At the time of the allegations, Ogilvy’s Chief Ethics Officer and Internal
    Audit did a thorough investigation of the claim and found no wrongdoing.

    The complaint was filed with the Department of Labor which dismissed it
    in its entirety.

    The case was then filed in Federal Court.

    Ogilvy has moved to dismiss the case as the allegations are without merit. We
    do not comment on ongoing litigation.
