Johannes Leonardo NYC ranked #4 on Ad Age’s 2018 A-List of America’s best creative agencies

This week, New York-based creative agency Johannes Leonardo ~ part owned by Aussie expat Leo Premutico (pictured below) ~ was featured on Ad Age’s 2018 A-List at number 4.

The list, released every January, ranks the nation’s top advertising agencies after considering a wide range of criteria spanning from agency culture, business performance and creative output.

Since the start of 2017, the agency has more than doubled in size and has also seen an 82 percent year-over-year uptick in revenue as a result of steadily adding to its client roster, seeing it grow from 6 to 14 of the world’s most important companies.

Last year’s highlights for JL include being named agency of record for both MassMutual and Bleacher Report, launching a successful holiday campaign for Amazon FireTV and taking home a Grand Prix at Cannes for “Original is Never Finished,” a campaign that reached every cultural touchstone and became one of the top 10 most watched ads on YouTube. The agency’s work for adidas Originals garnered over 30 awards in 2017 across Cannes, D&AD and The One Show.
