Contagious Magazine names Colenso BBDO Auckland ‘best and bravest’ in annual rankings

Last night Contagious Magazine announced its ‘Contagious Pioneers 2016’ with Colenso BBDO being named its number one agency in the world. In the magazine’s words the list recognises the “best and bravest agencies” in the world and was created to hero those that consistently set the standard for excellence and innovation in marketing.

Contagious is one of the worlds leading publications and consultancies for marketing innovation, with its aim being to help brands and agencies understand and adapt to the shifts in marketing, consumer culture and technology. The rankings are derived through the analysis of campaigns featured on the Contagious I/O research and intelligence platform during 2015.

Says Alex Jenkins, editor, Contagious: “The great thing about the Contagious ranking is that you can’t game the system. You can’t spend more on award submissions. You can’t shout louder on a jury for your agency’s work. All you can do is consistently produce exceptional work for all your clients.”

Says Scott Coldham, managing director, Colenso: “To be recognised by a publication with the objective and increasingly high standards of Contagious, and to be in the company of the agencies we are – is truly humbling. Doing great work across the breadth of both our client base, and in a variety of disciplines is what we strive for, so this result is really rewarding for the team.”
