8 Habits: Playfulness

“We are all born children, the trick is to remain one.” – Pablo Picasso

Although “playfulness” is one of the eight habits that people at Ogilvy strive for, but as Worldwide Creatvie Director Tham Khai Meng says, “work is play, play hard.” Consequently, treating work like playtime not only makes your day more fun and enjoyable, it produces creative, wholehearted, passionate work that makes our clients, the agency, and consumers proud.

Being playful isn’t always easy after long hours, strenuous meetings, and fast deadlines, especially for an Associate who’s quickly rotating between departments through it all. But here, especially here, it’s most important. Ogilvy cherishes those who can embrace the chaos with a positive, PLAYFUL attitude, and bring some youthful energy into the room.
