BBDO worldwide the most awarded global agency network in 2007

Hailed as the industry benchmark of how good an agency network is doing creatively, The Gunn Report ranks agency networks globally according to their respective awards won at regional, national, and global award shows during the year.

"Leading the report's ranking becomes the aim of all global networks," commented Alain Khouri, Chairman & CEO of the Impact BBDO Group. "Doing so more than once and for a second consecutive year is an even greater accomplishment. BBDO Worldwide has topped The Gunn Report like no other global agency network and for that we are very proud. It is even more rewarding to see that the Middle East has contributed to this ranking, showcasing the importance the region is playing on the global advertising landscape."

Impact BBDO contributed to this global ranking with international award wins for the Snickers Stop & Go TV Grand Prix at the Loerie Awards in South Africa and an Epica Bronze Award to be presented in an awards ceremony in Stockholm in January 2008. The former wins were from the Dubai office while the Jeddah office contributed with a "Goody" Print Ad which was awarded the Gold prize at the London International Awards Festival.

For the first eight years, The Gunn Report combined scores from the two big 'traditional' media - TV and print. This year Interactive was added to the list of criteria to reflect the changing face of the industry. BBDO Worldwide won The Gunn Report for 2007 for the second year in a row and fifth time in the nine year history of the award.
