Seeing our agencies across the globe recognized for their effectiveness is testament to the strength of our teams to crack it, no matter the category, geography or marketing opportunity.”
The 2019 WARC recognition continues McCann’s dominating performance in creative effectiveness awards. In 2018, McCann Worldgroup was named the Most Creatively Effective Agency Network in the global 2018 Effie Effectiveness Index. Also in 2018, McCann Worldgroup’s regional networks were ranked #1 in the Effie Index in Europe and the Middle East/ North Africa, and in the regional Effie shows in North America and Asia Pacific.
Prasoon Joshi, Chairman of McCann Worldgroup APAC and CEO & CCO of McCann Worldgroup India said, “It is a great honor for McCann Worldgroup India to be recognized as the most effective agency in the WARC Rankings. We constantly reinvent our approach in the way we speak to consumers and partner with brands. Our focus is on the content of our communications, and not the medium or the platform. The effectiveness awards are also a testimony to the collaborative vision at McCann and the confluence of local expertise and global learnings.
