It’s the second year in a row that a BBDO agency has been named Agency of the Year at Cannes. Last year’s winner Almap BBDO Brazil.

BBDO also achieved the #1 ranking in the Gunn Report as the Most Creative Agency Network in the world for the 11th year in a row.

And it was ranked the #1 Most Effective Agency Network in the world in the Effie Effectiveness Index.
