Ogilvy & Mather has resigned the Shell Oil Co. account for North America and will close its 60-person Houston office as a result, officials said last week.
Joe Kilgore, senior partner and executive creative director of O&M Houston, blamed the closure on a shift in spending to the client’s global agency, J. Walter Thompson.
“We just felt it was in our best interest to resign the account and open possibilities for us in the oil category on a worldwide basis,” Kilgore said.
