Campaign Brief's annual 416-page hardback publication – The Work 2011 – features McCann WorldGroup Mumbai and DDB Mudra Mumbai as Top Agencies of the Year. The Work features the very best advertising of the year from Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
Published by Campaign Brief, The Work is recognised as the only true permanent record of creativity for the entire region. On the cover this edition is 2011's most awarded ad in the world – JWT Shanghai's ‘Heaven and Hell’ for Samsonite luggage.
At the fifth spot is McCann Mumbai, with Leo Burnett Sydney topping the chart. The Top Networks in The Work 2011 include DDB in the first spot, and BBDO and Leo Burnett taking the second and third spot, respectively.
To be considered for The Work, all entries must have already passed the test and should have been awarded at a respected local, national or international award show. The cream of this crop is then selected. “It's fitting on our 10th year anniversary that this edition of The Work is our largest ever,” said the official communiqué.
