Finally, John Zeigler, Chairman and CEO of DDB Group Asia Pacific, Japan and India was awarded Campaign’s coveted Agency Head of the Year award for the region.
John Zeigler, said, "Last night was one of the proudest moments of my professional career. First winning Spikes Asia Network of the Year and now being recognised 10 times at Campaign’s Agency of the Year is truly fantastic.
“The night proved to everyone that we are not just the best creatively, but we lead the field in every discipline. No other network in the region can boast such a high pedigree of agencies.
“To me, the most gratifying is knowing every single person in our 2,000 strong network put their heart and soul into making DDB Group great. These wins belong to all our people. They believed in their own ability and talent, and they believed in our brand. We are now number one in the region. It’s been a long journey to get here, and I know this is only the beginning.”
