Almost all ad-eyes might be on Cannes right now, but Ogilvy & Mather Singapore has had a triumph worth shouting about.
It became Overall Agency of the Year at Marketing Magazine’s Agency of the Year Awards 2017 in Singapore on Friday night, June 16, with five Gold awards – a win in every category it entered including creative, digital, public relations, social marketing, and B2B Agency of the Year.
Chris Riley, group chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, commented, “Winning Overall Agency of the Year and Gold across so many categories is an absolutely fantastic achievement for us as it showcases our depth of talent and breadth of services right across the O&M Group here in Singapore. The wins are testament to the success of our push for closer integration as one Ogilvy, and is a great sign that we are charting the right course during this crucial period of disruption and transformation. I’d like to thank our clients for their trust and partnership, and every member of our team for making such a win possible. Tonight is truly one for the record books.”
Marketing Magazine’s annual Agency of the Year Awards is the only one judged solely by a jury comprising entirely of senior client-side marketers based in Singapore. Marketing’s Agency of the Year is designed specifically for the Singapore market to celebrate the best that the country has to offer.
Ee Rong Chong, group managing director, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, noted, “I am incredibly proud of our Ogilvy family and all of our clients for bringing home these top honours. The work featured in our entries showcase what it takes to make brands matter, while also achieving our aims to create campaigns that have both local impact and global influence. This is what the market will be seeing more of from a unified, integrated Ogilvy.”
