Congratulations to all the AdNews Agency of the Year finalists revealed today.
Judges for the awards came from all corners of the industry and this year saw far more brand marketers than ever before - from the likes of Kellogg, Arnott's, Mondelez, Telstra and Fox, to IAG, Toshiba and ANZ, there were plenty of great minds on board this year.
The judges looked at not only the agencies themselves, but the combination of an agency's culture, their relationships with clients as well as the financials that underpin it.
You can find the full list of finalists below.
