NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- DDB Group Asia Pacific was crowned Creative Agency Network of the Year at last night's Campaign Agency of the Year awards in Singapore. With a final tally of eight awards and two runners-up, the network dominated the awards show.

Tribal DDB Asia Pacific was awarded Digital Agency Network of the Year for the second consecutive year. DDB China Group Shanghai took home three awards: Creative Agency of the Year; Digital Agency of the Year; and Creative of the Year, honoring DDB China Group Shanghai's Michael Dee, who proved to be the best ECD in Greater China. Mudra Max won Specialist Agency of the Year for India and the subcontinent; and RAPP Singapore won Specialist Agency of the Year for Singapore.

John Zeigler, Chairman and CEO of DDB Group Asia Pacific, was awarded Campaign's coveted Agency Head of the Year award for the region.

DDB Worldwide President and CEO Chuck Brymer said, "DDB Group Asia Pacific has come very far, very fast in the last four years. These wins are a testament to the group's leadership and people, and their collective accomplishments in driving creative ideas, new business, growth, and integration."

DDB's latest awards, Brymer noted, follow major wins at Eurobest, where DDB was named both Network of the Year and Interactive Agency of the Year, as well as top spots at the Golden Drum and Spikes Asia.

Zeigler said, "Last night was one of the proudest moments of my professional career. After winning Spikes Asia Network of the Year, and DDB now being recognized 10 times at Campaign's Agency of the Year, is truly fantastic.

"The night proved to everyone that we are not just the best creatively, we lead the field in every discipline," Zeigler continued. "No other network in the region can boast such a high pedigree of agencies. What is most gratifying is knowing every single person in our 2,000 strong network put their heart and soul into making DDB Group great. These wins belong to all our people. They believed in their own ability and talent, and they believed in our brand. We are now number one in the region. It's been a long journey to get here, and I know this is only the beginning."
