Editor, Campaign Middle East
I would encourage all agencies across the MENA region to enter the Agency of the Year Awards as they are incredibly comprehensive covering not just creative output but business growth, new business, workplace culture along with diversity and inclusion.
The awards also recognises all the individuals behind the agency from the head of the agency and strategic leader through to the media planner, head of new business development and outstanding woman - the unsung heroes inside a modern-day agency. This is an incredible opportunity for these bright individuals and teams to be recognized.
We invite everyone to join these esteemed awards and wish them the very best!

Be bold, be creative, and never shy away from pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The most successful entries are those that tell a compelling story, resonate deeply with audiences, and leave an indelible mark on the world.”
