Every day this week, we are rolling out profiles of this year’s Agency of the Year winners. Check out the winners in other categories here.

This year’s Design Agencies of the Year are four very different shops, but they all have one thing in common: they apply the classic principles of the discipline and use them to address modern client challenges.

Among the four trophies Rethink took home this year was a repeat Gold win in Design. The agency rode a wave of even more growth in 2022 and produced top-tier design work for the likes of IKEA, the National Magazine Awards and Purdy’s chocolate.

Silver went to Lg2, an agency that has had design at its core for more than three decades, with an increasingly data-driven industry only sharpening its capabilities.

And rounding out this year’s winner is a tie for Bronze: Daughter, a design agency that has begun applying its creative chops to other disciplines, and Cossette, which is making investments to make sure it can keep attracting top-tier talent.

Read our profiles of this year’s winners below:

Gold: Rethink: one agency, so many awards
