WPP named holding company of the year with Ogilvy taking global network

London International Awards (LIA), one of the world’s most prestigious Global Award Shows, and part of the WARC Creative 100 Rankings, in its tradition of a total focus on creativity, is pleased to reveal its 2024 Global and Regional Of The Year Winners.

The 39th Annual London International Awards judging convened over a 10-day period at Encore at Wynn, Las Vegas. The Juries, drawn from the world’s most recognized talent and presided over by industry leaders, viewed and scored every entry within their categories together on-site through all rounds of judging. All jurors saw every piece of work, as there was no pre-judging to narrow the entries. This practice ensures that the work is judged fairly/equally and to its fullest merit.



This year LIA has introduced a Ranking of our 2024 Global of the Year Winners. These ranking can be viewed on our Winners Site here.

Calculating the Of The Year Awards: All winning work is assigned a point value that correlates to a statue win. The points attained from all Grand LIA, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Finalist wins contribute to the Of The Year Awards, regardless of entering company. We use the credits input at time of entry to calculate these points. We do NOT calculate the Entrant field when allocating points. All standard company credit fields starting with the Client field through to the end of the credit form are used to calculate our Of The Year Awards.

After a meticulous and thorough calculation of the points assigned to Winners and Finalists, LIA is proud to announce this year's prestigious 'Of The Year' Winners:

WPP was named Holding Company Of The Year. Their agencies, representing 27 different countries, attained points from a total of 251 Statue wins, including eight Grand LIAs. They also attained 93 Finalists.

Rob Reilly, global chief creative officer of WPP said, "Creative consistency is how you help build brands. Congratulations to all of our agencies that contributed to WPP being named LIA Holding Company Of The Year, for the second year in a row. And kudos to Ogilvy for continuing a run of four years as Global Network of the Year. Of course, none of this is possible without our brilliant production partners and brave clients - they are truly the best."

Ogilvy was awarded Global Network Of The Year for the fourth consecutive year. They were also named Regional Network Of The Year for Asia and North America.  

Barbara Levy, president of LIA, said, “This achievement by WPP and Ogilvy shows the commitment of a global network to the power of creativity. Its offices across the regions have demonstrated the same drive to make the best creative impact for their clients. Ogilvy Taipei, for instance, won a Grand LIA for Pharma & Medical. It is a shining testament to the strength of Ogilvy across the world. Congratulations to WPP for winning Holding Company Of The Year two years consecutively. And Ogilvy for winning Global Network Of The Year four years running. Well done!”

Ogilvy, New York was named Global Agency Of The Year and Regional Agency Of The Year for North America.

In a highly fragmented market, it's still undeniable that as attention spans are getting shorter, brands need to be more intentional and clever. A staggering 85% of viewers think that authentic humor, not something forced, makes an ad memorable. Consumers also say that the right celebrity can bring the uniqueness and memorability to a campaign and made them most likely to buy something from the brand.

CeraVe got it right, with their work for CeraVe Skincare titled 'Michael CeraVe', taking an unconventional route that involved quirky appearances by the actor, Michael Cera, rumors were swirling on social media that he is now a skin influencer, and whilst publications tried to unravel if he invented this moisturizer. It surprised, it made you laugh and it gave you something to watch. It got you hooked and culminated in a Super Bowl ad that later revealed it was an elaborate prank.

This piece of work earned CeraVe the LIA Global Client of the Year award. 'Michael CeraVe' entered by Ogilvy PR, New York was awarded three Grand LIAs, nine Gold, one Silver and two Bronze Statues and attained one Finalist by seven different juries. These wins attributed to Ogilvy PR being named Global PR Network of the Year and Ogilvy PR, New York being awarded the Global PR Company of the Year and Regional PR Company for North America.

This piece of work also contributed to Prettybird being named Global Production Company of the Year and Prettybird, Culver City awarded Regional Production Company of the Year for North America. 

Mackcut was named Global Post-Production Company of the Year and they also achieved the Regional Post-Production Company of the Year for North America for points attained from 'Michael CeraVe' and Mike's Amazing - Jason Alexander Rights the Wrongs titled 'Diner Date' and 'Never Order Diner Tilapia'.

Susan Credle, chair of FCB / creative advisor to IPG and LIA Integration and direct jury president, commenting on 'Michael CeraVe', the work that won the Integration Grand LIA, stated, “When you look at all of the work being done under this idea, each of the components contributed to a bigger story. Without the components would the idea have been as good. But they all added up. To me, that is the best of Integration - that every time you meet a piece of this work, the story gets richer, the idea gets richer.” 

Serviceplan Group, an independent network that has offices around the world, was named Global Independent Network Of the Year for the fourth consecutive year. Their agencies were honored with 11 Gold, 12 Silver and 10 Bronze Statues. Points from their 10 Finalists also contributed to their overall standing.

It is a testament to the talent, dedication, and creativity of our teams worldwide."

Across the competition five different juries awarded the agency a total of two Grand LIAs, six Gold, three Silver and one Bronze statue from three different pieces of work.
