No Australian shops scraped into the world's top 10 most-awarded agencies for creativity.
The WARC's Creative 100 stands as an independent global benchmark of the world's most celebrated advertising campaigns, collecting and consolidating work as awarded by major global and regional creative shows throughout 2023.
The league tables are determined through a yearly global panel survey and consultation with the WARC Rankings Advisory Board.
According to WARC, this year's top-ranking campaigns showcased a prevalent use of digital technology and a focus on women's rights.
"They provide the ideal opportunity for the industry to reflect and be inspired by the great body of work produced and how creativity is a driver, not only of differentiation, but for change," said Amy Rodgers, head of content at WARC Creative.
