Media agency PHD has scooped Marketing's inaugural Agency of the Year Grand Prix.
An array of outstanding creative work as well as its continuing commitment to hiring, retaining and training its staff to high standards made for a memorable year for the agency, writes Nicola Clark.
The agency has proved that its win two years ago was no flash-in-the-pan as it continues to produce highly effective ad campaigns, reflected in its excellent financial results, writes Alex Brownsell.
This year's winner had a stellar 12 months. Despite being closed to new business for the first half of the year, it continued to grow and innovate, with highly effective work, writes Sara Kimberley.
