Earnest admits being lucky with awards shortlisting
November 2, 2018

No agency – this one included – gets shortlisted for anything unless they’re lucky enough to work with bold clients.
Hands up: we’ve been incredibly lucky.
Our clients are willing to push boundaries time and again – because like us, they want to drive the humdrum out of B2B marketing.
So this announcement’s for them – our up-and-at-‘em clients who steam full speed ahead when other brands would slam on the brakes.
We salute you.
Now without further ado and with much humility, here’s that awards shortlist in full (along with one we’ve already won).
