Agency of the Year Awards Singapore 2019 shortlist announced

It is finally time. The shortlist is out for the 12th edition of the Agency of the Year Awards in Singapore. This is the second year since the event became independent from the MARKies, and also marks the second year in a row that we are doing live judging.

To up the stakes a notch, this year, our judging process will undergo an even more rigorous two-stage process where a panel of 37 client-side marketers will first independently review and score every entry to confirm the shortlist, before meeting together to discuss and debate the finalists’ entries and decide on the winners. The award offers agencies a fantastic opportunity to impress our jury with their outstanding products and services, business performance, people and perspectives.

The most successful agency that wins across the categories that the judges can agree on will receive the coveted Grand Prix title of Agency of the Year 2019. Last year TBWA\ Group took top honours as Agency of the Year.

This year we also introduced three new categories: Experiential Marketing Agency of the Year, Full Service Agency of the Year and Independent Agency of the Year.
