Research notes

WPP. CommonHealth (Parsippany, NJ; CEO Matt Giegerich) was merged with Ogilvy Healthworld in June 2010 to form Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide (Pharmafile and Research Live, 25 June 2010); it later traded as Ogilvy Health. CommonHealth is a WPP lineage, not Omnicom/BBDO (BBDO Health is a separate Omnicom unit with its own file). ogilvyhealth.com is live (checked 2026-10-22). Ogilvy Health New York was Clio Health Agency of the Year 2026 (not re-checked). Most awarded work is pharma brand work. Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: The Youngest Donor (Ogilvy work page), #ForeverWena (Bizcommunity). Corrected 2026-10-22: #ForeverWena source changed to the bizcommunity.com page that loads; website changed from ogilvy.com to ogilvyhealth.com.
