The Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings will hit the streets early next week and all through next week we will preview this year’s results on campaignbriefasia.com. Today we are looking at probably the most predictable table in the Creative Rankings – the Network chart. 

Having won this for the past seven years it was always going to be Ogilvy & Mather who would again top this section of the Rankings. Over the 2008 and 2009 awards season it was another dominant network performance by Ogilvy, who sit a huge 2805 ranking points in front of their nearest rival. O&M Singapore, O&M Bangkok and O&M Mumbai were again their best performers, and all three agencies sit comfortably in the overall Top 10 in Asia. Ogilvy experienced a good result with their Chinese offices in Shanghai and Beijing. Tokyo also put in an improved performance.

This year’s runner-up network is JWT who replace Saatchi & Saatchi as Asia’s second most awarded Network. It is only the second time JWT has been as high as No2 in the Network Creative Rankings – 2006 being the first time, but they dropped down to No3 the following year. JWT got a significant boost from their Chinese offices, with Shanghai and Beijing experiencing very healthy increases in the Rankings. JWT Mumbai and JWT Singapore also did well.

Saatchi & Saatchi dropped one position to third, just in front of Leo Burnett. The star of the show for Saatchi was their Malaysian office, who have had an outstanding past two years at award shows. Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia was one of the best performing agencies overall in this year’s Creative Rankings picking up significant awards at D&AD, One Show, AdFest and Clio. Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore fell slightly but still contributed a third of all of the Network’s award wins over the past two years. Also contributing for Saatchi were their Guangzhou and Vietnam agencies.
