Compiled by Warc, these annual league tables are produced by combining the winners’ lists from the industry's most important global and regional awards shows - as determined by the Warc Rankings Advisory Board and a worldwide industry survey - and by applying a rigorous proprietary three-step methodology.

Following the disruption to the awards industry caused by Covid-19 with many shows paused in 2020 and resuming in 2021 to judge two years of work, the release of the full Warc Rankings 2021 were postponed from Q1 until now. The Warc Rankings 2022 (work tracked during 2021) will be released in Q1 next year.

Amy Rodgers, managing editor, research and rankings, Warc, said, “The results of the Warc Rankings 2021 bring together the most awarded campaigns and companies of 2020 and are a fantastic showcase of a combination of the best work the industry produced pre-pandemic as well as exceptional work notable for its response to the volatility caused by Covid-19. Not only do these rankings provide inspiration, but they bring recognition to outstanding campaigns and the talent of our industry.”

The most highly ranked campaigns and companies of the Warc Rankings 2021 are as follows:
