Our Amplify Marketing Festival will return to the University of Edinburgh Business School on Thursday 24 August during the Edinburgh Festival.

The Ogilvy Lecture
The Ogilvy Lecture is our way of expressing our enthusiasm to preserve and promote David Ogilvy’s legacy. As a proud and passionate self-claimed Scot and one of the most famous names in advertising, David Ogilvy is an inspiration to many in our industry.
The general theme we suggest to speakers is around the concept of “the big idea” and in line with the mission of The Marketing Society – leading the conversation.
