Your definitive guide to the world’s most awarded creatives, companies and campaigns.
The Drum’s World Creative Rankings is an extensive annual study of the most awarded people, companies and campaigns in the global creative industry. Think of it as your who’s who and what’s what in global creativity.

Creativity continues to be one of the most powerful tools available to advertisers and is rightly celebrated as the magic that elevates the logic behind the marketing and media plans of advertisers everywhere.

Our creative coverage also happens to be among our most read on thedrum.com and these rankings are hotly anticipated each year. As well as those searching to find their name in lights, the rankings also attract the attention of creative leaders’ talent spotting, advertisers sense-checking their creative AORs and even tech, consulting and agency groups looking to amp up their creative offerings.

This year sees the launch of this dedicated space, which houses each of the key people, company and campaign lists that make up the Rankings. There are 26 different rankings this year. As you peruse these power lists, it’s well worth taking the time to check the top people across the key creative roles, explore the companies who create the winning work and watch the most awarded commercials.

Over the coming weeks, The Drum team will also publish a complete editorial analysis, including major interviews with the elite creative talent who feature, as well as deep dives into the most-awarded campaigns that feature most prominently. A free summary report is also available in the downloads section and if you’d like to speak to us directly about these rankings or our wider research, contact us below.
