FCB has been recognized as “Network of the Year” at The One Show for the second year in a row!
“Winning ‘Network of the Year’ at The One Show is an incredible honor, and a true testament to the incredible work everyone across our network does every single day,” says Tyler Turnbull, FCB Global CEO. “Our standard is creative excellence every time, and this recognition, led by another outstanding performance by our New York team, in addition to more accolades driven by our agencies in Brazil, Brussels, Canada, Chicago, and London — underscores our commitment to making relevant, engaging, and effective work that helps drive the future of business.”
“This recognition from The One Show reinforces our ambition to deliver bold, brand-centric creativity that drives business and pushes the industry forward,” said FCB Global CCO Andrés Ordóñez. “From coding a music video in Excel to catch the eye of media planners, to honoring barf bag enthusiasts with unexpected storytelling — our ideas put brands at the center and innovation at the core. Vamos FCB!”
“Being named ‘Network of the Year’ emphasizes our shared commitment to making the impossible, possible,” said FCB Global Creative Partner Danilo Boer. “As made clear by the breadth of categories we were recognized in, it’s evident that the work across FCB goes beyond award-winning — its breaking new ground and showing the power of ads that don’t feel like ‘ads’ to drive meaningful connections between our brands and their audiences.”
Not only was FCB named “Network of the Year,” but we also received an impressive 89 Pencils including 38 Gold, 26 Silver, and 18 Bronze, and earned various special awards including “Agency of the Year” for FCB New York and “Best in Show” for New York’s “Spreadbeats” campaign with Spotify.
In a standout honor that celebrates FCB’s collaborative approach to our client partnerships, FCB New York and AB InBev’s Michelob ULTRA have also been selected as the recipient of this year's “Penta Pencil” — awarded to an Agency / Brand team who, together, have created stellar work for five or more years. AB InBev also took home “Client of the Year,” while Spotify earned “Brand of the Year.” This brand recognition highlights that we are truly Better Together, and that brave collaborations backed by shared trust is what will drive the most effective work forward.
Pencil recipients include, FCB Chicago for “The Last Barf Bag” work with Dramamine, Happiness (an FCB alliance) for “Burger to King” with Burger King, and FCB New York for “Lap of Legends” with AB Inbev – Michelob ULTRA.
And a huge shout-out to our teams in Brussels, Canada, France, London, and New Zealand who earned Merits at the Show for their work for Kodak, TBS, the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, Kleenex, and Green Cross Health respectively, which contributed to the “Network of the Year” win.
