If the shop is successful, Ogilvy hopes to open further shops in other London areas later in the year.

Ruth Jamieson, a copywriter at Ogilvy and the organiser of the scheme, said: "Marketing plays an essential role in the successes of any enterprise but these businesses can't afford to employ communications professionals.
