Campaign Names VML Top 3 Global Creative Network

VML has been recognized as the Bronze winner in the Global Creative Network of the Year category at the Campaign Global Agency of the Year Awards, placing it among the top three agencies globally in creative network performance.

This year’s awards attracted a record-breaking 117 entries from 27 countries. More than 200 agency leaders gathered on Thursday, June 12 for the black‑tie ceremony at London’s Jumeirah Carlton Tower.

Earlier this year, VML was also named a finalist in multiple categories at the Campaign U.S. Agency of the Year Awards, including one of six agencies shortlisted for Agency of the Year. In addition, Rafael Pitanguy, Deputy Global Chief Creative Officer, was named Creative Person of the Year for his leadership and Coca-Cola campaigns including Thanks for Coke-Creating and Coke Studio.

The Global Agency of the Year winners deserve every plaudit: they show that the best shops never stand still... That takes genuine creativity, top talent and an almost obsessive drive to innovate. This year's winners had all of that in spades.
