OgilvyOne, UniWorld to launch American Red Cross campaign
NEW YORK: Ad agencies are fulfilling their duties of being responsible corporate citizens. An integrated campaign from the WPP group agencies OgilvyOne, Ogilvy PR and UniWorld Group will assist the American Red Cross in launching its largest blood drive effort this week in the US.
An adweek report says that the budget is estimated at $20 million. OgilvyOne, the relationship marketing arm of Ogilvy & Mather in New York, has created marketing materials that include TV and print ads, posters, mailers, appointment cards, brochures, payroll stuffers, banners and outdoor executions.
The promotional literature carry the American Red Cross’ familiar “Together, we can save a life” tagline.
The essence of the campaign will be to convey how little time it takes to donate blood. The TV spots suggest people consider giving blood in between doing such mundane tasks as solving a crossword puzzle, taking the bus to work or fixing a child’s bike. Each spot flashes to a Band Aid as “a badge of honour.”
The ad campaign will also support the Red Cross’ Save a Life Tour 2003, which will feature two Red Cross convoys that will travel across the country through 345 communities to generate awareness about blood donation.
Ogilvy PR is guiding media relations and publicity, while UniWorld handles multicultural outreach.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
