Colenso BBDO tops global agency list

AUCKLAND, Today: Colenso BBDO has done it again! Named by the global marketing magazine Contagious as one of the top eight creative agencies worldwide, they’ve been a regular on this list nearly every year since its start in 2016.

The Contagious Creative Pioneers list is a big deal, spotlighting agencies that lead the way in creativity and innovation in marketing. To make this list, campaigns have to be top-notch in creativity and strategic smarts.

Chloe Markowicz, editor at Contagious, explains, “At Contagious, we focus on the best marketing globally. Featuring even a single campaign on our platform is a huge nod, but earning a spot as a Contagious Pioneer means an agency has consistently been exceptional.”

The agencies on the 2024 Pioneers list have set themselves apart with work that’s not just creative and effective, but also paves the way for the future of marketing.

“Our goal is to be among the best creative firms globally, right from New Zealand. We’re incredibly proud of our clients and our team, whose drive and commitment have made these achievements possible.”

2023 was a standout year for Colenso BBDO. They scooped up several awards including Cannes Pacific Agency of the Year, multiple D&AD yellow pencils, and topped the WARC list for NZ & Australia.

Angela Watson, Managing Director of Colenso BBDO, shares, “Our goal is to be among the best creative firms globally, right from New Zealand. We’re incredibly proud of our clients and our team, whose drive and commitment have made these achievements possible.”
