Global Creative Rankings

The Global Rankings provides a cumulative list of companies, individuals, projects, countries, and regions based on points earned from winning entries in various industry competitions across the globe.

Beginning with 2023, the Global Rankings now include points accrued from the Art Directors Club Europe Awards, which joins the ONE Asia Creative Awards on the regional tier. This sits under the global tier, which includes The One Show, ADC Annual Awards, and TDC Awards. Also included is the national tier, which features The One Club Awards Denver, San Diego, and Miami.

For additional information on rankings and point allocation, view more details directly below.

In order to receive points for the Agency rankings, a credited agency must meet the following:

  • Agency must be credited under the Top Agency listing on the specific award win.
  • Agency must be credited under one of these credit types:
    Agency, Design Firm, Digital Agency, PR / Marketing Agency

When multiple agencies* meet the above requirements on the same award win, the points for that win are equally divided among those agencies.
*Points are also equally divided with any listed Top Agency credited under the Internal / In-House Agency credit type.


MULTIPLE AWARDS WITHIN A DISCIPLINE
If the same piece of work won multiple awards within a Discipline, the points for the one (1) highest award* in that discipline were counted.
*For work that received a Best of Discipline honor, the points for both the Gold win and Best of Discipline win were counted within that Discipline.

AWARDS IN MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES
If the same piece of work won awards across multiple Disciplines, the points for the highest award per discipline were counted.


The rankings were determined based on the point values listed on this chart:
