Countdown to Campaign Brief Agency of the Year plus Hot+Cold Chart – deadline Friday Jan 12

*In an August 2017 CB Poll of the top 40 creative ad agency CCOs and ECDs recipients were asked, on a scale from 1 to 10  (1 least valued, 10 most valued) how do they rate winning each of the four Agency of the Year awards. CB Agency of the Year was the most coveted with 341 points (out of a possible 400 points), followed a long way back by AdNews on 260 points, B&T on 232 points and Mumbrella on 196 points.

It’s soon time to pick CB AustralianAgency of the Year and NZ Agency of the Year — and also to work outthe 2018 CB Creativity/Billings Index (or Hot+Cold Chart), plus the top 10 agencies that make the 2018 CB Hot List.
