This is a result of a study, which included 232 professionals from companies in South Africa having undergone face-to-face interviews with Scopen researchers between June and September.

"It is certainly an honour for us to be recognised by Scopen and their participating companies as the 'Best Performing Agency'," says Tom Manners, managing director at Clockwork Media.

"Clockwork Media has grown immensely over the last year, and it’s great to be recognised by our peers as an agency that performs consistently. The basis of any strong business needs to be happy clients, and I think this accolade reflects that to some degree," he adds. 

Cesar Vacchiano, president and CEO of Scopen International, adds, "After analysing 232 client-agency relationships in South Africa across creativity, execution, strategy, and even account services, to name but a few criteria, Clockwork Media is the best performing agency in client satisfaction."

"It’s a very difficult position to achieve in such a competitive market and with such a demanding client complement. In other countries, multinational agencies lead the ranking, and in South Africa, we were pleasantly surprised to find an independent topping the ranks," adds Vacchiano.

The recognition adds to the achievements of Clockwork Media, which has won Agency of the Year at both the EMA SABRE Awards and the African Excellence Awards, as well as Large Agency of the Year and Most Awarded Agency at the 2017 PRISM Awards.

Clockwork Media has also been named the seventh 'Fastest Growing Agency Globally' by the Holmes Report Global PR Agency Rankings 2017 and as finalists for PR Agency of the Year at the Financial Mail AdFocus Awards.
