Memac Ogilvy & Mather most awarded agency in Arab world
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 07 - 2012

MEMAC Ogilvy & Mather team celebrates.MEMAC Ogilvy & Mather further cemented its position as the Middle East's leading communications agency by winning three gold, one silver and one bronze awards at the recently concluded 59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
Memac Ogilvy saw 17 of its campaigns short-listed in Cannes and paved the way for Ogilvy & Mather to make history and win the coveted Cannes Lions 2012 Network of the Year Award, the most prestigious accolade in the advertising industry.
Edmond Moutran, Chairman and CEO of Memac Ogilvy Middle East and North Africa, has heaped praise on the company's personnel for raising the creative bar so high in the region. The agency is now clearly the most awarded in the Arab world.
"To be awarded three Gold Lions at Cannes is as good as it gets in our industry. It's the summit. But this success hasn't come by chance - it is the direct result of painstaking planning to take our creativity to a level where we are the equal to, or better than, the best in the world. We have done that," said Edmond Moutran.
Cannes Lions 2012 also saw Ogilvy & Mather have its best ever year. It has been presented with the prestigious Network of the Year award, and has won 83 Lions across all categories, including 1 Grand Prix, 12 gold, 20 silver and 50 bronze. The network has also achieved a record 305 finalists during the festival.
What makes the achievement so remarkable is that it is not an isolated event. Actually, the Lions from Cannes continue a steady stream of highly-regarded awards to the agency in the region and abroad for its many campaigns across the spectrum in recent times. Earlier this year, Memac Ogilvy cleaned up the Dubai Lynx with two Grand Prix, 17 gold, four silver and seven bronze trophies.
The agency was also the first from the Middle East to win the celebrated Grand Prix at the Clio Awards in New York
"The Lions are the latest in many recent awards, but of course, the main reward for us is the satisfaction of our clients. Our goal has been to have our creativity of consistent, international standard. But we won't be relaxing - we strive to constantly improve", he said.
"My thanks are extended to each and every member of our tremendous creative team in our region and particularly our team in Tunis which not only turned in an outstanding campaign but was part of history." – SG
