There she spent thirty-five years working for three different companies. Procter & Gamble taught her how to understand consumer behavior, which came in handy for character development. At Leo Burnett Advertising, she learned what makes people buy the brands they buy. Her longest tenure was at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, where she managed such accounts as The Chicago Tribune and NutraSweet in the US, Canada, and the UK. During her career, she received numerous accolades and awards including two Cannes Lions, five Effies for effectiveness in ad campaigns, and two David Ogilvy awards recognizing creativity.
In 2005, Margaret retired and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she immersed herself in the nonprofit world, preparing newsletters and ad campaigns for The New Mexico Cancer Institute, Equestars Therapeutic Riding, and the Grand Prix de Santa Fe. Margaret lives with her husband Larry Davis in the Cerrillos Hills, south of Santa Fe.ver menos
