The accolade is the latest in a string of awards for the network worldwide, recognising a strong performance during 2016.


“The significant new business wins that we’ve seen, both internationally and locally, is testament to the fantastic global team that is PHD,” says PHD NZ ceo Louise Bond. We are so proud to be part of an agency recognised as one of the best in the world.”


PHD WW ceo Mike Cooper said: “I don’t think any other network can lay claim to holding so many Network and Agency of the Year awards concurrently. We’re delighted that Adweek has recognised the hard work and contribution that all 4000 people across 89 offices have made to PHD’s success in the past 12 months. We’re also extremely grateful to work with such fantastic client partners.”
