Partners in life as well as in work, Charlie Wilson and Emma De La Foss have produced some of OgilvyOne’s best work in recent years – including campaigns for British Gas, IBM, First Great Western, the Art Fund and, of course, Cancer Research UK.
This week their achievements were officially recognised when they were voted into the Hospital Club 100 – a list of the top people in the media and creative industries, from the people behind the renowned London drinkery. Charlie and Emma came in at number 70, one place above Richard Four Weddings Curtis and ahead of such ad luminaries as Wayne Arnold and Farah Ramzan Golant.
The inaugural The Hospital Club 100 was launched at the beginning of June in association with The Independent’s Media Weekly section. It’s a list of the stars working in London’s creative industries; film, television, music, new media, journalism, publishing, performing arts, marketing, fashion, art, and advertising. Nominations were compiled through a democratic process – anyone working in the creative industries has been able to go to The Hospital Club’s website and vote (tens of thousands did, apparently).
The list was topped by “graffiti artist” Banksy, with muscian and producer Mark Ronson coming in second.
