“Big ideas on big brands is ultimately what separated BWM from a really strong field”

BWM has edged out major competition to win the coveted AdNews Creative Network of the Year, beating BMF, Clemenger BBDO and DDB Group.

Here’s a few the key points from the AdNews article from 26 February 2010:

BWM’s strong financial performance and client stability saw the agency win from a quality field. The agency’s success followed a string of new business wins and revenue growth in a year of difficult economic conditions.

- BWM raked in $114.5 million in new business and achieved a 25% rise in revenue

- Lowest level of staff turnover down to 18%, while the digital department grew from 17 to 28 full-time staff

- Creativity ramped up across big brands including Telstra, BigPond and Sanitarium’s Weetbix

Congratulations to everyone involved - we’d show you the celebratory photos but they could come back to haunt us.
