Ogilvy has elevated Tim LeGallo to a new role within the agency–chief production officer, North America. LeGallo will be integral to Ogilvy North America’s regional leadership, partnering closely with chief creative officer Rafael Rizuto to drive the effective integration of talent, capabilities and resources, and deliver world-class creative excellence across North America clients and key global accounts.
Rizuto said, “Creative ideas are only as great as the production that’s put to them. Tim is someone who operates at the absolute highest levels of the discipline, always pushing ideas and opening doors to elevate what’s possible in our work with clients. He epitomizes what it means to be a trusted partner, and I can’t wait to see his impact reach even further into our teams and creative product as he helms this vital new role.”
LeGallo stated, “Production is everything I love–a passion that only expands as the discipline continues to take on new, innovative shapes creatively and in culture. I feel beyond privileged to step into this role at Ogilvy and put production even more at the core of how we think, plan and partner across the agency and with clients. The future of this discipline is incredibly exciting, and I’m here to ensure it becomes just as synonymous with creative excellence as Ogilvy itself.”
Most recently, LeGallo served as head of production for Ogilvy New York, taking on an expanded role after helping lead the Verizon account as executive director of production. He joined Ogilvy in 2023, building upon his experience as EVP, head of production, Team Verizon at McCann. Prior to McCann, he spent a decade in various production leadership positions at Publicis.
LeGallo’s campaign credits include such notable work as Verizon’s “Can’t B Broken” Super Bowl collaboration with Beyoncé, the much-awarded Diesel “Go With the Fake,” and “The List” for Citi, enabling trans and nonbinary customers to utilize their chosen name on credit cards.
