Bio
Sarah Ellen O'Farrell
An incredibly strategic thinker who never takes his eye off the ultimate business objective in everything he does. All insight work, all strategy development, all delivery, is done with one unrelenting focus - creating communications solutions that drive his client's core business agendas and produce tangible returns. A fantastic leader, a very visionary thinker, but above all, someone who will drive every client's business forward.

I throughly enjoyed working with Kohlben at OgilvyOne. He is a strong leader who built up the Social practice and team from scratch, developing insightful and strategic capabilities which have been deployed across all Ogilvy's key clients. He is great with clients and goes without saying has in-depth digital and social knowledge.

Kohlben's arrival at Ogilvy is undoubtedly linked to our improved credentials and strategic thinking around all things social. Testament of his impact in a relatively short period of time and from a standing start, Kohlben has built up a team of talented specialists and delivers a significant incremental revenue stream from both existing and new client accounts. On a personal note, I have enjoyed working with his direct, practical and no-nonsense approach to social media strategy, insights and content delivery.

OgilvyOne is amongst the UK’s leading digital and direct agencies. They have also been Campaign magazine’s Direct Agency of the Year for three years running and four times in the last six years. During my first year I created the strategic planning frameworks, built best in class teams, developed cutting-edge technology stacks and generated incremental revenue streams from the existing client base (B2B, B2C & NPO). My second year focused on developing new business, delivering award-winning work and driving triple figure discipline revenue growth. Please refer to the links below for examples of the work.
