ABOUT

Francesco is an internationally-recognized, Emmy nominated, Chief Creative Officer of Ogilvy Canada. He is Ogilvy’s highest ranked CCO in the world (Drum 2024 ranking).

Prior to his current role, he has worked his way across the globe from Chicago, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, and back to Toronto.

He has worked on some of the most iconic brands in the world, such as Netflix, Guinness, Uber and Dove, where his back-to-back “Toxic Influence” and “Cost of Beauty” campaigns both became the most shared and most awarded in the brand’s history. They are currently ranked #1 (Cost of Beauty) and #4 (Toxic Influence) in The Drum’s 2024 ‘World’s Most Awarded Campaigns FMCG/CPG’, catapulting Dove to 2nd at the Cannes Lions Brand of the Year rankings, and Unilever as coveted Creative Marketer of the Year.

Francesco is responsible for leading Ogilvy Canada’s creative resurgence by cultivating an “ideas first” culture, while forging client relationships built on trust and transparency. In other words, less selling and more solving.

During his first year as CCO, Francesco helped spur a 75% conversion rate on new business, helping the agency win H&R Block, Go Train, Up Express and Samsung Global.

He has been a D&AD New Blood Mentor, a Creative Equals Mentor, and has participated in One Show Portfolio Reviews.

His trophy cabinet consists of over 350 awards, including back-to-back Cannes Gold Lions this past year, a D&AD Collaborative Black Pencil, and multiple Grand Prix and Gold at every major show, including The One Show, Clios, LIA’s, Eurobest, Effies, Andy’s, Communication Arts and ADCC’s.
