Dublin-based Eightytwenty employs over 30 people and has developed a bespoke model that combines creative, data, performance media and technology to design and deliver campaign narratives across the entire customer journey.

Ogilvy & Mather and Eightytwenty have been working together since 2015. This acquisition will bring new capabilities in creative, digital performance and technology to Ogilvy & Mather’s local and international clients.
