For the next five days, strategy will unveil the 2023 Agency of the Year nominees, alongside the jury that picked them.
First up is Design.
Below are those in contention for a Design Agency of the Year trophy. They are the studios and shops that the 2023 jury (also below) assigned top scores to three pieces of their visually-led work. And they will be recognized at the annual gala in Toronto on Nov 2, beside finalists in the Creative, Small, Digital, PR and Media competitions.
Check back here tomorrow through Friday for nominees across the other five categories.
