An agency can only win this title once every 12 months.
• Owner of the Month – Similar to the above, except the owners have to answer the following questions on their monthly performances: example of creative solutions for agencies or clients; example of financial success; collaboration with agencies; major staff hires and number of awards won. Both awards will be decided by the editorial team.
