We should get Sushi, Carol.
No Ogilvy, Leos, either Saatchi, JWT, Y&R, TBWA or CHEP in the top ten. What is going on?
Agree about Ogilvy and Saatchi…. also BWM?? They got a Grand Prix at LIA last year didn’t they? More than anyone in the top 10 got.
Let’s go CHEP!
What is happening is that interesting, brave, forward thinking independant agencies are attracting away talent from a lot of very tired, rigid, declining network agencies.
It’s a power shift that has been gaining momentum for sometime now, but this year it is finally being reflected in our the AU agency landscape is being seen and ranked.
BWM has done really well. The listed work in seen ‘n noted is good stuff. Just not quite top 10, perhaps. There’s no shame in that at all.
But Donation Dollar should’ve got S&S in at 9, or 10 at the very least.
Donation Dollar was the year before:
