The Marketing Skills Trust, Ogilvy UK and Rapp UK are launching a mentorship programme in memory of the former chief executive of Ogilvy One Mike Dodds and his wife Claire Dodds, who was a teacher and supporter of domestic abuse survivors.

The inaugural Dodds Legacy Programme will take place at Ogilvy’s London office on 28 January.

It will include a closing keynote from Rory Sutherland, Ogilvy UK's vice-chairman, who will speak about his perspective on confidence, creativity and unconventional career paths.

The mentorship scheme is open to 30 people; applications can be made here until 16 January.

The event is inspired by Mike and Claire’s lives and working styles. Claire died last year, and Mike the year before, in 2024.
