TWBA\ Worldwide has made it to prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2019 by business magazine Fast Company. The list consists of businesses making waves in both industry and culture that have showcased innovative ways to succeed in today’s ever-changing world, and providing both a snapshot and a roadmap for the future of innovation. Out of all the businesses across 35 industries in every region, TBWA made it among the top 10 in the Advertising sector.
In naming TBWA, Fast Company stated: “TBWA is global agency that calls itself The Disruption Company, which reflects its Innovate or Die and Always in Beta mantras.”
The agency’s work for clients like Adidas, Apple, and The Thomson Reuters Foundation, as well as initiatives like cultural insights unit (Backslash), strategic consulting practices (Disruption\Lab and Disruption Consulting), product design groups and innovation efforts were also highlighted as some of its most innovative work.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be included among Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2019,” said Troy Ruhanen, President and CEO, TBWA\Worldwide. “The companies profiled are some of the most progressive in the world, and it’s heartening to see the editors recognize our commitment to innovation and to the power of disruptive creative ideas on behalf of our clients.”
This honor puts TBWA\ among the few agencies that have received both Adweek’s Global Agency of the Year award and Fast Company’s Most Innovative award in the same year.
