Ogilvy is a very big and prestigious company and interning there would make for a very good addition to your resume and a great learning experience. However, an internship is not something that can be bought with money or connections, and you also need to be the kind of person who wants to work hard and be an asset to the company. If you have the above qualities, then it is certainly possible to get into Ogilvy as an intern.
Hi, It’s a good question and a difficult one as well. The answer is, there is no foolproof way of getting the job you want. Just be up-to-date with the latest happenings, especially those related to your industry.
Make it a point to read as much as you can from the web, as it is the best place to discover upcoming jobs. Also, don’t forget to attend as many conferences as you can. You can also attend seminars and conferences to create a connection with people in your field of interest. If you know someone who works at Ogilvy, you can always ask him/her for help and advice.
For starters, I would suggest asking yourself again, why Ogilvy? Intern at a smaller agency with a wide portfolio where you will actually get to work. At Ogilvy, it would not be very easy to get real work, even if you manage to get in. It’s best to connect with folks from Ogilvy from your city or check in your network if you have got anyone who works at Ogilvy. Post that, it all depends on luck and talent. Cheers.

Until and unless you convince yourself don’t think of joining the place, it seeks a lot of commitment and passion.
A few years back while I was pursuing my MBA I had an internship opportunity with several top-rated MNCs with a decent striped amount however I decided to pursue my internship with Ogilvy at a nil stipend.
I have learned a lot of nuances a marketing guy needs to know. That free internship has got me jobs and fat-paying ones as well.
People at Ogilvy are really friendly and will help you out if your passion is strong enough to be associated with the brand. Connecting with people on LinkedIn should help.
