The Drum Beats On: VMLY&R COMMERCE Lists on the 2023 World Creative Rankings
VMLY&R Commerce, and the VMLY&R network overall, is well represented on the 2023 World Creative Rankings recently released by The Drum. The rankings chart creative performance across the advertising world by tracking how many awards a campaign secures for its client, agency and creative team.
For the first time, VMLY&R Commerce becomes the only Commerce agency to make the list of 100 global agencies in the world ranking at #61. This comes on the heels of last year’s The Drum Awards ‘Network Agency of the Year’ recognition. (Download the Drum Annual Review here.)
Global chief creative officer Manuel Bordé of VMLY&R Commerce climbs the list ranking at #57, with VMLY&R global chief creative officer Debbi Vandeven named one of the top four CCOs in the world.
VMLY&R Commerce ‘Smart Fill’ campaign for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) ranked as the #79 on the list of most-awarded creative campaigns.
VMLY&R ranked No. 6 in the world, and WPP was honoured as the No. 1 holding company.
“What a big moment for us as an agency but more importantly the industry. It validates the evolution of commerce, and the journey we’ve been on to bringing greater creativity to commerce experiences, online and offline.” Beth Ann Kaminkow, global CEO, VMLY&R Commerce.
