Grey has enjoyed a series of great creative triumphs in the year including 113
Cannes awards win at the annual
Cannes Lions in 2015 (triple its take from the previous year); being named
Cannes Lions North American Network of the year; Grey group EMEA named as
Agency of the Year at
EACA Euro Effies 2015; and 12
Clio Awards wins (with three gold for the Berlin SoundCloud and Ministry of Tourism & Transport creative executions).
Grey also enjoyed a robust new-business performance across all regions this year, adding global assignments in high-profile pitches from Emirates Airline, Motorola and Pandora Jewelry.
“In 2015, the difference is the depth and breadth of what we have. We've had five or six big multinational account wins — big, famous brands,” says Jim Heeken, chairperson and CEO of Grey Group. “We are deeper and broader in terms of talent and the number of offices that have gotten on the success train. That's the difference. To me, that's the biggest thing.”
Grey's worldwide revenue rose 5% in 2015 to just over $800 million. Digital revenue rose more than 20% compared to 2014.Grey’s growing reputation as a global creative powerhouse is reaffirmed constantly as the group continues to excel in its global stride.
“Thanks and congratulations to each and every member of the Grey Group for their winning spirit, creativity and dedication. They have all made Grey the global gold standard in our industry,” concludes Heeken.
