Pete Khoury, Creative Circle chairman and chief creative officer at TBWA\Hunt Lascaris, said that the rankings are important as they give recognition to local agencies as well as provide a barometer on the standard of work coming out of the Industry.

The Creative Circle represents South African advertising agencies, and only Creative Circle members are included in the rankings. “The Creative Circle Rankings are the guiding benchmark for South African agencies’ and are reflective of the consistent top performers over the year,” says Khoury.

He comments that: “This year it’s notable that we not only see some familiar faces which indicate consistently good output from the industry but some new ones too, which reflects its state of competition and growth.”

All the ranked agencies and agency groups are listed in the tables below.
