REVEALED: TOP RANKED AGENCIES, MARKETERS AND CAMPAIGNS OF 2024

The Ham Report rankings is based on the best of six shows hosted in Malaysia: APPIES, Dragons, d’Awards, MSA, Effie and the Kancil Awards.

It is the Gold standard in industry rankings and only Gold winners from these six shows are counted.

The Report focuses on campaigns not craft winners and winners on the regional level have higher weightage.

Campaigns that win multiple Gold in the same show, or in the shows in our rankings over the year, are factored as One Gold (unique) win.

As in previous years, the scoring algorithm was developed from a poll among 30 leading marketers on which shows they considered the most prestigious and reflective of true marketing success. Effie and The APPIES are highly valued.

“This year, twelve agencies made their debut in the Top 10 list. It is just how the cards fall in place and we applaud them all. You are Gold! “ says Prof Harmandar Singh of MARKETING magazine, which publishes this benchmark to guide marketers through the plethora of agencies and award shows. “A Gold-standard agency serves as a touchstone for the industry to strive toward.”
