The Summit Creative Awards (SCA) recognize and celebrate the creative achievements of small and medium sized advertising agencies worldwide with annual billings under $30 million. Founded in 1994, the SCA has established itself as the premier arbiter of creative excellence for firms of this size and has become a coveted honor. The 2016 Summit Creative Award competition drew more than 5,000 submissions representing 21 countries from five continents.

“Each year, smaller advertising agencies and creative boutiques contribute more than $1 trillion to our economy,” said Jocelyn Luciano, executive director of the Summit International Awards. “A great deal of excellent work goes largely unrecognized by other award programs, which can be dominated by large firms and their clients’ budgets. Our goal is to recognize and reward these smaller shops for their contribution to the industry and the marketplace.”
“Winning a Summit Creative Award is a significant accomplishment. With vetted judges, tough judging criteria, two-phase blind judging processes, and strict bylaws limiting winners, only deserving entries receive recognition,” said Luciano. “The creative work this year was outstanding. Watching the judges debate the details of individual entries in the run-off for the top spots was inspiring.”
We are extremely grateful to our clients, who let us create winning work for them. Thank you!
