14 YEARS CELEBRATING AGENCY EXCELLENCE IN MALAYSIA
Advertising + Marketing Malaysia’s Agency of the Year is recognised as one of the country’s premier awards programmes to measure, reward and recognise the industry’s top-performing agencies.
This is so much more than an evaluation of the work. Judged by a panel of senior marketers from influential brands, agencies will be assessed on their outstanding business performance, portfolio of clients and campaigns, people & culture and contributions to the industry at large.
AOTY is also home to the MARKies, rewarding the agencies behind the most innovative, creative and effective campaigns spanning Malaysia’s entire marketing services industry.
