O&M Singapore Named Digital Agency of the Year at Gong Creative Circle Awards 2017

Ogilvy & Mather Singapore was named Digital Agency of the Year at the Gong Creative Circle Awards (CCA) 2017 last week, garnering 24 awards including seven Gold, four Silver and 11 Bronze. The agency was also awarded the prestigious Grand Prix Gong Award for its award-winning work, ‘Pitching French Films to Hollywood’ for Alliance Francaise Singapore, amongst other notable wins for IBM, Singtel and Singapore’s Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). Seth Han and Leonard Koh both received the Bronze award for NexGen creatives.

The awards follow O&M’s big wins at the recent London International Awards where the agency scooped 12 Statues including six Gold.

Chris Riley, Chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore said, “We are very humbled to receive these awards and be named Digital Agency of the Year for the second year in a row as they serve as a great testament to the quality of our work within the creative industry and the major strides we have achieved in the past year together with our clients. I would like to thank our clients for their continuous support in making this possible, and also dedicate the awards to my talented team who contributed to this impressive achievement.”

Organised by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Singapore (4As), the CCA is a celebration of Singaporean creativity that recognises the industry’s leading local talents.

The awards encompass all facets of creative communications across five major disciplines: advertising, design, interactive, promotions, and direct mail.

Eugene Cheong, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore and Asia Pacific, said, “As creatives, it is important to continue pushing boundaries to ensure that we are at the forefront of our industry in order to make a purposeful difference for the brands that we represent. Winning these awards have not only reinforced our commitment to creative excellence, but will also propel us to create transformational work that makes their brands matter in today’s world.”
