The World Creative Rankings, in partnership with Twitch, is the definitive guide to advertising’s most creative brands, agencies and people. In this installment, we find out which copywriters top the rankings.
Which copywriters will lead this year's edition of the World Creative Rankings?
The Drum’s World Creative Rankings are an original, industry-spanning effort by our researchers to chart creative performance across the advertising world.
By measuring how many industry awards a campaign has picked up for its client, agency and the people behind it, we can gain an accurate picture of the critical reception to creative work. Using that data, we’ve compiled a list of the best copywriters in adland.
