Ranking the agencies with Tony Koenderman's AdReview

A unique ranking of 64 of South Africa's top advertising agencies will be carried for the first time in Tony Koenderman's AdReview 2014, which will be published on 22 May.

The tables are ranked by size (measured by number of employees), but will be supplemented by tables ranking more than 50 agencies by creative capability (measured by creative awards).

These give marketers vital information on which to base their choices. "If you're looking for a new ad agency, design shop, public relations or any other consultancy, AdReview makes your choices easier," says Koenderman. "And the data in the publication is enhanced by additional information on our website."
