Strategy continues to dole out the hardware – and the folks at media agencies should feel pretty cocky after another year of stellar work.
In our annual search for the best of the bunch, we invited hundreds of media sellers from across the country to evaluate the calibre of the media agencies they’ve worked with over the past 12 months.
Evidently, they’re pleased. From TV to online to events,
the industry is on a roll. The apparent new mantra: there is no limit to innovation. And this year’s winners – from agencies to media directors to our Next Media Star – prove it by marrying shrewd strategy to creative executions.
Here, we profile the best.
