History

Hogarth Worldwide HQ, London

Hogarth was established in London in 2008.[4] In 2009 the company formed a joint venture with WPP plc (NASDAQ:WPPGY).[5] Richard Glasson - who joined the company in 2011 as Chief Operating Officer - is now CEO of the business.[6]

Hogarth has undergone rapid organic expansion over recent years as a consequence of the trend for large corporations to decouple their advertising creative development from production.[7] In 2010 the company opened an office in New York. In 2011 offices were opened in Hong Kong, Singapore,[8] and Mexico. An office in Bucharest was opened in 2012. An offshore production platform for Hogarth was established in the year 2018 in Chennai, India.

Hogarth also manages and provides the production technology for in-house studio facilities at advertising agencies and client marketing organisations.

Some of the biggest clients Hogarth works for are: Heinz, Galderma, Nestle, Ford, Johnson & Johnson, Volvo.

Services

Hogarth provides an assortment of software and services to assist with the centralisation of advertising production. The services can be broadly divided into three categories; centralised implementation, agency studio management and technology for production and distribution.

Hogarth's specific capabilities include broadcast, print and digital production, post-production, CGI and retouching, creative expansion, language services (including transcreation), and distribution technology.

Art at 164 Shaftesbury avenue

The artists included Nathan Fox, Mike Salter, Robert Bradford, Danny Sangra, Vilaz Lisbon, Diana Taylor, Paulina Michnowska, and the late Jon Steed.[16]

A further exhibition was added in late 2011 called 'Fish Tank'. This is visible in the London HQ windows and features a selection of bronze fish by artist Michael Chaikin.[17]
