Mike Windsor

Since 1998 Mike has been responsible for Ogilvy’s interactive resources around the world, spearheading new acquisitions, partnerships and strategic corporate initiatives. Previously he was President and CEO of Anderson & Lembke.

Mr. Windsor is not a stranger to O&M. He joined the agency in 1986, and worked in both the Houston and Los Angeles offices. He was Group Account Director on the Microsoft account when he departed in 1992.

Mike started his career as a free-lance writer; assignments included work for the National Geographic Society. He moved into the business world as a speechwriter at a high-technology oilfield services firm and within three years was the Director of Market Research, Advertising and Public Relations.

He followed that with a foray into public relations, working for Burson Marsteller, specializing in crisis communications. Between leaving Ogilvy in 1992 and joining Anderson & Lembke in 1994, Mike wandered around obscure parts of the world scuba-diving, skydiving and writing bad screenplays.

While at Anderson & Lembke, he built the largest integrated/interactive agency on the west coast, winning 90 percent of Microsoft’s interactive advertising and a majority of their traditional advertising.

Windsor claims, "The interactive marketing world is both fun and difficult because it changes dramatically, often. It requires fast decisions, the ability to adapt quickly and a willingness to leap repeatedly into the unknown...skills that I honed jumping out of perfectly good airplanes with parachutes that didn’t always open."

He serves on both the Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide Board and the OgilvyOne Worldwide Board.
