Agency of the Year 2025: Shortlists announced

Winners will be revealed at a series of celebrations across the region, including gala dinners in Mumbai, Shanghai, and Singapore, and a cocktail event in Tokyo.

Since the early 1990s, Campaign’s Agency of the Year Awards have celebrated the people and agencies shaping the future of advertising and brand communications. 

Each year, entries are independently verified by MediaSense (formerly part of PwC) to ensure a rigorous and transparent judging process. From initial online rounds to final reporting, every stage is meticulously reviewed by a robust lineup of jurors.

Details of our jury can be read here. To give an overview, jury is made up of client-side marketers from across APAC to ensure that every entry is evaluated through the lens of regional expertise and market nuance.

And now, the moment everyone’s been waiting for: The 2025 APAC shortlists are live.
