McCann Worldgroup was named the #1 network for effectiveness in the 2020 WARC Effective 100 rankings. The WARC Rankings are a global index of creative, effective and media excellence in advertising.
In addition, McCann Worldgroup’s agency FP7/McCann Dubai was ranked as the #1 most effective individual agency in the world. This marks the second consecutive year that McCann Worldgroup has won this prestigious honor in both the network and agency categories.
McCann Worldgroup’s roster of agencies, and the creative campaigns they produced, dominated the WARC effectiveness rankings. McCann Worldgroup agencies occupied an incredible total of 13 slots of the top 50 agencies in WARC’s ranking. Harris Diamond, Chairman and CEO of McCann Worldgroup, said, “The creative and strategic award recognition that we have received for so many of our agencies across our entire global network, shows the power of our ability to create strategically-driven creative work for some of our largest global clients, as well as major regional and local ones. And we could never produce so much great work without our clients’ willingness to push marketing boundaries to drive their businesses forward.”
Suzanne Powers, Global Chief Strategy Officer, McCann Worldgroup, said: “Our mission of helping brands earn a meaningful role in people’s lives is not just mantra to us. It’s a methodology and approach that helps our teams around the world create amazingly impactful work. This ranking recognizes that focus and, of course, the great clients with whom we have the honor of working with every day to drive those results.”
McCann Worldgroup’s success in the WARC rankings was solidified by the 18 different campaigns that were named to WARC’s list of the 100 most creatively effective campaigns. The clients whose work was cited include: Amazon Prime, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Xbox Minecraft, Mucinex, Nescafé, Aldi, IKEA, KitKat, and Uber.
The 2020 WARC recognition continues McCann’ Worldgroup’s dominating performance in creative and effectiveness awards. In addition to the WARC effectiveness recognition, McCann New York also recently topped the WARC Creative 100 Ranking as the #1 most creative individual agency.
