Commenting on BBDO's record-setting performance, Patrick Collister, the author of The Directory Big Won said, "To be the top agency network of The Big Won rankings requires a spread of work, not just one or two particularly successful campaigns.  Clearly, BBDO is delivering the best work for its clients above the line, below the line, offline and online."

"There is a proven correlation between work that wins creative awards and work that is exceptionally effective.  Put simply, the best work works best.  And we want to do more of it than any other network," said Andrew Robertson, President and CEO, BBDO Worldwide. 

Rankings for The Directory Big Won were compiled based on nearly 4,500 pieces of work, from 39 industry shows around the world and more than 1,500 advertising agencies. 

Colenso BBDO in Auckland, New Zealand was the most awarded single agency in the world and BBDO New York the runner up.  AMV BBDO in the UK was ranked #4 and Almap BBDO in Brazil was #11.  No other network had more than two agencies in the top fifteen.  BBDO agencies were the country winners in Brazil, Dominican Republic, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia, UK and USA.

For the second year in a row, BBDO North America Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, David Lubars, was ranked #1 Creative Leader in the world.  Nick Worthington, Creative Chairman of Colenso BBDO, was ranked #2, BBDO New York Executive Creative Director Greg Hahn was #5 and AMV BBDO Executive Creative Director Paul Brazier was #9.
