About & History

Since the early 1990s, Campaign’s Agency of the Year awards have existed to recognise inspiring leadership, management excellence, outstanding business performance, and overall achievements in advertising and brand communications.

With results tabulated by PwC Singapore, it is the only programme to honour agency excellence at both a local and regional level.

The awards are open to all media, advertising, creative, digital, PR, independant and specialist agencies from across the Asia Pacific region and within the UK, and our EMEA scheme is open to all types of agency networks who have offices in 3 or more locations across the region.

In 2020, we have introduced Campaign’s Global Agency of the Year Awards which brings together the winners from APAC, EMEA and the US regional schemes across 4 disciplines as well as the creative network winners to discover who really is the best of the best. Visit our Global AOY website for more details.

Judging

The Agency of the Year judging panel consists of leading client marketers across Asia-Pacific region.

In the first round of judging, judges will review and score entries independently and the scores will be sent directly to PwC Singapore for tabulation and verification. The jury will then meet to discuss shortlisted entries in a second round.

In cases where there is single entry or fewer entries in the category, judges will unanimously decide whether there should be a shortlist and/or whether any trophies should be awarded at the second round of judging. This may result in no shortlist and no trophy being awarded in a category. The judges’ decisions are final.

Awards will be made at the discretion of the judges based on a scoring system and no feedback or correspondence will be entered into about the results.
