Within his first year, the agency was named Creativity's "Agency to Watch" in the Advertising Age A-list, crediting DDB New York as "A new creative hot shop, even though it's been around for 64 years." Also DDB received mention as the runner up for the "Agency of the year" title by Creative Review in the UK. He and his teams created the 5th most awarded interactive/social campaign of 2013, WaterisLife "Hashtag Killer". DDB NY soon became the "3rd most awarded agency in the US" by the Gunn report and "Design agency of the year" at Young Guns.

Within Menno's first two years in the industry, he was named "Most Awarded Art Director Worldwide" by Creativity. That same year, he played a key role in Saatchi & Saatchi NY winning the "Agency of the Year" title at Cannes and the Clio Awards. By then Menno was also ranked one of the Top 50 Young Creatives in the world by the New York Art Directors Club.

From Saatchi, he went to Y&R NY,  as Creative Director and Head of Art; he helped the agency become the most-awarded U.S. shop, placing second for "Agency of the Year" at the Cannes Festival and created the campaign that made the agency "Digital agency of the year" at Young Guns.
