Starting this year, One Asia is now part of The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings for 2023.  One Asia awards won by agencies and brands will now gain them international recognition in their own right and contribute as appropriate to network and holding company global rankings totals. Global Creative Rankings points for One Asia are Best of Show 90; Best of Discipline, CMO Award, Sustainable Development Goals, Green Awards, and Cultural Driver Awards 60 each; Gold 30; Silver 14; Bronze 6; and Merit 2.

“After a successful first year in 2021, One Asia will be significantly more important to agencies and brands now as part of the Global Creative Rankings,” stated Kevin Swanepoel, chief executive officer, The One Club.  “These judges represent the vanguard of creatives, designers, and innovators across all of APAC, and they will drive the process to recognize this year’s winners.”

“After expanding The One Show Greater China to the whole Asia Pacific region as One Asia last year, we now take the next step in elevating the best work in the region on the global stage,” added Ma Chao, chief representative, The One Club Asia office.  

The One Club Greater China office was founded in 2000, hosting a series of youth events in China, and added The One Show Greater China Awards and related Creative Week programming eight years ago. In the past 20 years, the team has focused on promoting creativity in the APAC region, and greater communications between Greater China and the global industry. This expanded focus prompted the office to rebrand this year as The One Club Asia.
