This opened Ogilvy’s eyes to how direct response advertisers carefully test and optimize tactics for immediate action and sales conversion rather than just broad messaging.

We partnered with foster youth, former foster youth, artists, and community advocates to create an exhibition that used art to spark action on issues facing foster youth. The exhibition evolved after it opened. The facilitation was as chaotic and fragile as a spiderweb. Short story: we learned a lot. There were trust issues.
