Michael Ovitz Ad Age Profile
Ad Age, the leading daily news source for marketing and media communities, have compiled an impressive list of the "Top 100 People of The Century" in advertising. Michael Ovitz is included on this list - one might not associate a Hollywood talent agent with advertising but to consider him in this light alone is to misconstrue the breadth of his roles at CAA and elsewhere .
In addition to his influence on brokering studio mergers with giants Sony and Matsushita, his signing of Coca-Cola sent seismic changes through the advertising world. Freed from the hubris of traditional agencies, the branding flourished in new, innovative, and highly successful ways, paving the way for other corporate branding to follow. Remember those animated polar bears guzzling coke?
This is now considered an "a la carte" option for companies seeking advertising, a notion that altered the industry and to an extent noteworthy enough for mention on Ad Age's list.
