NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Advertising Research Foundation (thearf.org) is proud to announce the finalists for the 23rd ARF David Ogilvy Awards.

The ARF David Ogilvy Award stands for creative approaches to analytics, to consumer insight approaches, and to leading innovative partnerships with the entire creative team. It was David Ogilvy who famously said, "As far as I know, I'm the only creative genius who started in research."

This year's finalists embody that ethos with a range of outstanding market research that enabled creative excellence. They were chosen from 51 entries, over days of spirited judging by juries of the industry's brightest stars.

"The David Ogilvy Awards celebrates the awesome power of an irrefutable insight; the launch pad for any successful campaign," said Jimmie Stone, CCO, Edelman and ARF David Ogilvy Grand Jury Judge.

The best overall campaign will receive the Grand Ogilvy Award. Winners will be announced at the 2017 David Ogilvy Awards Gala on March 20, 2017, in New York City, a highlight of The ARF 63rd Annual Conference Re!Think 2017.
