The official rankings include individual creative rankings, such as executive creative directors, copywriters, designers and photographers, plus rankings for brands, agencies and production companies, as well as a breakdown by category and size – all contributing to making this annual an essential tool for anyone involved in the brand communication industry.

All the best work from the past year is showcased in the annual, including all areas of brand communication – from Grand Prix to Crafts, special awards and student work. Designed by Grid Worldwide Branding, the annual is the second in the new format, adding to the indispensable set of reference books, which every creative and marketing director should have close at hand.

The book also includes an extensive index of the winning agencies, brands, production companies and individual creative credits, so readers can search easily to find the best talent across a multitude of disciplines.
