We are now down to the business end of the 2020 Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings – the overall ranking of the most awarded 25 agencies in Asia.

The 2020 Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings are based solely on creative performances over the March 2018 to July 2020 period. If you win an award at one of the award shows we include in the Creative Rankings – you pick up points.

227 different agencies managed to win awards from March 2018 to July 2020 and are ranked this year.

The shows that are included in the Creative Rankings are: Ad Stars; Spikes Asia; AWARD Awards; AdFest; Campaign Brief’s THE WORK; Clio Awards; London International Awards; New York Festivals; One Show; D&AD; and Cannes Lions.

2020, as we all know, is rather “unique”. Due to Covid-19 we have had Cannes Lions, AdFest, Spikes Asia, London International Awards, Clio and AdStars either postponed or cancelled. Only 5 shows were held from January 2020 to July 2020 – D&AD, One Show, AWARD, Campaign Brief’s The Work and New York Festivals. These 5 shows plus all 11 award shows from from both 2018 and 2019 are included in these Creative Rankings. This means the 2020 Creative Rankings represent the results of 27 different award shows.
