AXIS Awards hat trick for DDB Group Aotearoa

AUCKLAND, Today: DDB Group Aotearoa NZ is kicking off the year on a high note, having just snagged the Agency of the Year title at the local AXIS Creativity Awards last night.

2024 is shaping up to be a banner year for DDB Group. They’ve already clinched ‘Agency of the Year’ at Campaign Brief (Australia) and Spikes (AsiaPac) back in March, making this their third big win.

At the AXIS Awards, DDB Group and its sister agencies, Mango Communications and Track+Tribal Aotearoa, scooped up a Grand Prix and three golds for the acclaimed Correct the Internet campaign. They also grabbed six silvers and five bronzes across various campaigns for big names like Volkswagen, Speight’s, McDonald’s, Goodman Fielder, L&P, and Samsung.

“They say good things come in threes, and we’re incredibly pleased with our trio of agency of the year awards and all the lovely recognition at AXIS,” says DDB Group CEO Priya Patel.

“Awards like this tell us that we are consistently delivering effective creative work that makes a difference to our clients’ business,” Priya added.

DDB’s Chief Creative Officer, Matty Burton, shared his pride in the team, “I am super proud of how our people show up everyday to help our clients win in their respective spaces. I’m also thrilled with our diversity of work, all of it moving people to act.”

“I also just want to acknowledge that we had four junior teams up for Emerging Talent. Even though none of them were successful on the night we are so proud of them and their efforts, they are all rockstars in their own way,” Matty highlighted.
