CELEBRATING INDIA’S INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

It was an absolutely brilliant one last night as we celebrated some of our country’s best work done across the year by various independent agencies across the country and presenting trophies to many teams was magical seeing so much talent in our industry 

For 11 years now the absolutely dynamic Sreekant Khandekar and the wonderful team at afaqs! have been giving the spotlight of all this awesome talent that in every city of ours across India doing some incredible work for #brands across all facets of #marketing

It’s always such an honourable role to be a part of this Jury and share a space with genius like Pops KV Sridhar who’s been such a role model for me and I’m sure thousands 

Over 100+ agencies who participated from Kerala to Assam, this one is truly one of the biggest such platforms and clearly there’s just so many agencies even 3-4 years old and most of these young teams doing lovely work in #digitalmarketing and it was great meeting couple of these incredible teams 

The 2 Biggest Awards of the evening went to the awesome team of Admatazz that clinched the largest number of metals as the agency of the year and the rising agency of the year went to atomcontent.studio 

There were ton’s of winners that did win for their work regionally and then there were the national winners and teams across :
Human Global 
Craywingz 
Nash8 
Meraqi Digital  
Namak Media 
Why Not Advertising, LLC 
Popcorn Stories | B Corp™ Certified 
Till It Clicks 
Ways Marketing Solutions 
Walk The Talk 
Scatter 
Techinfinity  
Story Digital 
United270 Communication Lab  
Lyxel&Flamingo (L&F) 
Acumen Creative Studio 
Birthday Collective  to name a few 

What’s really nice to see here is the sense of brotherhood among all the winning teams and each one appreciating the others work 

These are definitely going to be the teams and agencies of the future.

We must applaud, encourage and appreciate the kind of work that they’re doing and that it’s not just the holding companies who do incredible work and let’s cheer all the winners and those who even participated, got shortlisted 

What was also interesting to see was Schbang that participated in year 1, 11 years ago has risen to become one of biggest agencies that’s grown from India to the world and Harshil Karia is such an inspiration thus to all these teams  

Last but not the least, it’s the team Satrajit Sen Shantanu P. Nikhil Jhunjhunwala Tejal Parmar Shreyas Kulkarni who work for months to put this one out and need a cheer
