MUMBAI: Omnicom agencies took the top honours at the annual Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity. BBDO received the night's top honor, Network of the Year, for the second consecutive year, with DDB placing third. The award comes on the heels of BBDO winning the Cannes Lions APAC Network of the Year.

 

On the other hand, Colenso BBDO won Agency of the Year and DDB Group New Zealand placed third. OMD China was among the top three Media Agencies of the Year.

 

In total, over 40 Omnicom agencies in 12 countries contributed to nearly 150 Spike awards. More than any other holding company, Omnicom agencies won four Grand Prix awards in Design, Digital, Direct, and Promo and Activation, as well as three Creative Effectiveness awards.

 

Colenso BBDO's ‘Reduce Speed Dial’ innovative campaign for Volkswagen was a multiple award-winner taking the top prize in Digital and Direct. Whybin\TBWA won a Grand Prix and two Golds for their ‘It's Your Call’ campaign for 3AW. DDB Group New Zealand was among the top three agencies and won two Grand Prix awards, the highest honour, in Design, Promo and Activation.

 

“Omnicom once again had a great showing at Spikes and it's especially gratifying to see our networks and agencies continue their winning streak in an incredibly competitive region. I am extremely proud of the recognition, the work that earned it, and the people that made it happen,” said Omnicom Group president and CEO John Wren.
