Ogilvy Earth appoints Andrew Ure from Department of Climate Change as MD

Ogilvy PR’s green unit, Ogilvy Earth, has a new managing director.

Andrew Ure, a former director of International Forest Carbon at the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, is replacing Sarah Cruickshank, who is leaving Ogilvy after a ten-year spell to join Ure’s former department, where she will be assistant secretary.

“We are very excited that Andrew is joining Ogilvy Earth to lead the team at a time when Australian
companies have sustainability issues at the core of their business strategies,” said Kieran Moore,
CEO, and Ogilvy PR.

“With over a decade of experience at the coalface of solving key strategic issues in both the public and private sectors and with a particular interest in climate change and sustainability, Andrew brings a new level of skill and talent to Ogilvy Earth.”

Ure’s career includes stints at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as a diplomat at the Australian Embassy in Iran, and as an associate consultant at the international strategy consultancy OC&C in London.
