Adweek has revealed that DEPT® is in the running to be named Global Agency of the Year 2023. Adweek’s Agency of the Year honours the agencies that are setting the standard for where the industry is heading into 2024. This year, for the first time, Adweek has a theme for its Agency of the Year awards program: Building a Better Agency.

DEPT® is proud to be recognised as one of the leading agencies in the industry, setting the standard for what the agency of the future should look like. The jury for the award focused on three main factors: business performance; work; commitment to culture, DEI, and sustainability. Winners will be announced on October 10.

“We believe that the only way to build a better agency is a relentless focus on our clients plus an unwavering love for our culture. This year, our relentless focus on clients combined with some major investments in new technologies and methodologies, brings unparalleled value to our clients, helping them move faster, automate, and futureproof their growth.

Culturally, our unwavering commitment has been to strive to use technology and marketing as a force for good. As a globally certified B-Corp company, we’re actively delivering work that pushes our teams and clients in that direction.”

– Dimi Albers, Global CEO, DEPT®
