Martine COFFI-STUDER / Ocean Ogilvy

Martine Coffi-Studer, a Strong personality, a unique flair (her ”sixth sense”, as she usually calls it), passionate and rigorous, has held very firmly over the year her rudder with fundamental values such as pragmatism, creativity, tenacity, openness and multi-cultural views.

Born in Côte d’Ivoire, her Akan origins and racial mixing, experience and culture make her a true citizen of the world.

Following a Master and DEA in Economics, she made her professional debut in Ivoire Media, the state advertising agency. Four years later, her natural leadership, business acumen and entrepreneurship led her to launch her communication agency “Océan Conseil” in 1988. The agency is quickly spotted and approached by the Ogilvy Group (WPP) who bought 25% shares in the company.

Océan Conseil became Océan Ogilvy, now present and operating in 10 countries (Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Congo Brazzaville, Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger and soon in Mali) and radiates in a total of 23 countries in West and Central Africa.

Driven by her passion, the profusion of her ideas, her tireless rigor in work, and recognized as such, she was appointed in 2005, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in Charge of Communication.

Today, she is a board member in prestigious local and international groups.

Martine Coffi-Studer, entrepreneur, mother, wife, engaged in flora and fauna preservation as Board member of the National Park and Reserves Foundation of Cote d’Ivoire, is certainly a wonder woman in the communication world.
