Memac Ogilvy Dubai, which finished in tenth position, had the most number of awards for a single piece of work with 51 for ‘The Autocomplete Truth’ for UN Women.

The top creative director poll was headed jointly by David Lubars from BBDO New York and Marcelo Reis from Leo Burnett Sao Paulo while Ben Priest/Emer Stamp/Ben Tollett Adam&Eve DDB London came top of the executive creative director rankings.

Heading the art director list was Yu Orai from Dentsu Tokyo, which also employs the copywriting team to head that list; Nadya Kirillova and Sotaro Yasumochi.

This year’s rankings were drawn from 851 TV spots, 842 Direct campaigns, 830 Digital campaigns, 802 Press ads, 806 Posters and outdoor campaigns, 498 Media campaigns, 296 Radio ads and 168 Mobile ideas which were produced by 391 chief creative officers, 820 executive creative directors, 2,540 creative directors, 2,852 art directors, 2,494 copywriters, 1,203 account directors, 1,059 designers and 536 planners.
