Leo Burnett/Arc Worldwide took home four awards – one gold, one silver and two bronze – at 4A’s 2012 Jay Chiat Awards. Winners were announced at the 2012 Strategy Festival in New York City. Leo Burnett/Arc Worldwide was the third most awarded network. Leo Burnett Chicago, Toronto and Arc Worldwide shared in last night’s wins.

 

“The awards are an example of the agency competing - and winning - against the best in the world,” says Mick McCabe, Chief Strategy Officer. “The diversity of the awards underscore the depth of strategic talent residing at the agency, with all the strategic functions from research, analytics, shopper and brand planning contributing to and being recognised as winners.”
