VML NAMED GLOBAL AGENCY NETWORK OF THE YEAR

Budapest, 30 June 2026 – Campaign has named VML Global Agency Network of the Year. As one of the advertising and marketing industry’s leading international professional platforms, Campaign recognized VML’s outstanding creative performance, business growth, global impact and integrated operating model with this award.

Campaign, one of the advertising and marketing industry’s leading international professional platforms, has named VML Global Agency Network of the Year. VML achieved a double win at this year’s awards: in addition to the network recognition, Ellie Bamford, VML’s Global Chief Strategy Officer, was named winner of the Strategic Planning Leader of the Year category. The award recognizes Bamford’s strategic leadership and outstanding contribution to the industry.

The awards were presented in June in London, ahead of the Cannes Lions International Festival. Campaign recognizes agencies and professionals that demonstrate outstanding performance, innovation and creative excellence on a global scale.

This international recognition is also an important endorsement for VML’s team in Hungary. The local office works on clients’ brand, communications, creative, digital and business challenges as part of a global network that brings together strategic thinking, technological capabilities, customer experience design and creativity through a unified, integrated operating model.

This award is not only a validation of the global network’s performance, but also an inspiration and a responsibility for us: together with our Brand and Customer Experience teams, we deliver the same integrated thinking to our clients in Hungary that places VML at the forefront of the industry globally. It is especially important to us to be part of a global community where international knowledge, experience and innovation directly support the work we do in the Hungarian market as well

The latest recognitions build on VML’s previous international successes. Last year, the agency was ranked among the world’s top three creative agency networks. This year’s award marks another important milestone for VML and further strengthens the agency’s global position.
