The One Show 2025 Global Creative Rankings methodology
Rankings in each category are calculated by the company that garners the most points overall for winning entries based on One Show Pencils, Merits and Special Awards, allocated as follows: Gold Pencil 45 points, Silver 21, Bronze 9, Merit 3, Fusion Pencil 90, CMO Pencil 90, SDG Pencil 90, Green Pencil 90, Penta Pencil 150, Best of Discipline 90, Best of Non-Profit 90, and Best of Show 135.
In order to receive points for the agency rankings, an agency must be credited under the Primary Agency listing on the specific award win, and must be credited under one of these credit types: Agency, Digital Agency, Media Agency, or PR/Marketing Agency. When multiple agencies meet the above requirements on the same award win, the points for that win are divided equally among those agencies.
If the same entry wins multiple awards within a discipline or in multiple disciplines, the points for all awards and wins are counted towards the rankings.
A total of 19,860 pieces from 62 countries were entered into The One Show 2025, and winners were announced last week during Creative Week in New York. This year’s esteemed One Show global jury awarded agencies, studios, brands, production companies, and designers in 55 countries with 156 Gold Pencils, 197 Silvers, 270 Bronze, and 1,027 Merits.
