BBDO Is The Most Strategic Agency Network In The World For The Third Year In A Row According To The Warc 100 Rankings

NEW YORK, March 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, BBDO was the most strategic agency network in the world in the Warc 100. The annual Warc 100 tracks the rankings of campaigns, based on their performance in 79 effectiveness and strategy competitions over the past year. It's intended to reflect the business impact of a campaign rather than just its creativity.

Fourteen of the top 100 most effective campaigns of the year were created by ten BBDO agencies, more than any other agency network. Two BBDO agencies were ranked among the top ten individual shops – AMV BBDO in the UK (#5) and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne in Australia (#9).

Said Andrew Robertson, President and CEO, BBDO Worldwide, "BBDO is all about "The Work. The Work. The Work." Great work that works great for our clients. Great thinking inspires great work that delivers great results. Being ranked number one in the world for the third consecutive year underscores just how deeply engrained this is across our network."

Winning the Warc 100 completes a triple crown for BBDO. Earlier this year, BBDO topped The Gunn Report for the tenth year in a row as the most creative agency network in the world. BBDO also topped the Global Effie Effectiveness Index as the most effective agency in the world for the second year in row.

ABOUT THE WARC 100

The Warc 100 is a ranking of advertising and marketing campaigns that have worked. Warc tracks advertising competitions around the world – all of which require entrants to show the business impact of a campaign, rather than solely recognizing the campaign's creativity.

Warc tracked more than 2,000 winners in 79 different effectiveness and strategy competitions to compile the rankings. Warc assigns points to these campaigns (and the brands and agencies behind them) based on the prizes they win in those competitions. Each competition is weighted based on how rigorous and prestigious it is – Warc determines this via results from a poll of more than 100 senior strategists in markets around the world.

The rigorous methodology was developed in consultation with Professor Douglas West, Professor of Marketing at King's College London. The methodology is applied consistently across all competitions tracked.
