BBDO Worldwide – 5th year in a row winner of The Big Won

Cristina Blanaru Creativity

BBDO Worldwide has topped The Directory Big Won, an annual ranking which tracks the performance of agencies across every marketing communications discipline,  for the fifth year in a row. This  comes after BBDO was named the Global Advertising Agency Network of the Year by both Adweek and Campaign magazines.

This year’s Big Won rankings were compiled from some 6,000 awards won by 4,048 campaigns on behalf of nearly 2,500 clients by 1,300 agencies.

The value of creative awards is in indicating which campaigns have, in all likelihood, given their clients real return on investment. And the value of the Directory Big Won rankings is in identifying which agencies are most likely to generate remarkable commercial results for their clients.

To say that BBDO ‘gets it’ would be an understatement. BBDO agencies are consistent, relying on work across a spread of clients and platforms, rather than on one or two runaway successes. The agency is clearly delivering the best work for its clients above the line, below the line, offline and online.
