BBDO Lanka wins "Rest of South Asia Creative Agency of the Year" award for third time
BBDO Lanka was recognised as one of the most creative agencies in the region once again when it was awarded the 'Rest of South Asia Creative Agency of the Year - Gold' award by Campaign AsiaPacific at its Agency of the Year 2017 awards. The South Asian region awards were announced and presented at a gala dinner held in Mumbai, India last week, the agency said in a media release.
This is the third time that BBDO Lanka has entered the prestigious competition and been awarded a Rest of South Asia Creative Agency of the Year award. It previously took home the Silver in 2012 and Bronze in 2015.
BBDO Pakistan took home the 'Pakistan Creative Agency of the Year - Bronze' award whilst BBDO India's Hermant Shringy was named 'South Asia Creative Person of the Year 2017'. Rajat Mendhi of BBDO India was named 'South Asia Strategic/Brand Planner of the Year 2017 Runner-up'.
Said BBDO Lanka Managing Director Santosh Menon upon picking up the award, "2017 has been a great year for us. We have been recognised with awards, here in Sri Lanka and abroad, for our work on Anchor, Janashakthi Life and Piramal Glass. Winning Campaign Asia-Pacific's 'Rest of South Asia Creative Agency of the Year - Gold' for our work overall is the icing on the cake. I am proud of the team and looking forward to celebrating this win with them."
In 2015, BBDO Lanka was named Agency of the Year at its Effie Awards debut in Sri Lanka and this year took home a Gold and Finalist award for its two entries. It was also recognised with a Bronze at the Tangrams Effectiveness Awards at Spikes Asia in Singapore in September this year.
