Starcom Mediavest Group Beirut has ranked the third media agency globally in the 2015 Directory Big Won Rankings.

The Directory Big Won is one of the most extensive awards ranking reports in the world, compiled from 7,194 awards, 3,406 pieces of work by 1,443 agencies. Citing a rise in media creativity, they began tracking Media Networks since 2003.

“This ranking is an aggregate of our company’s stellar performance at awards shows in 2015, and a further testament to the creative talent we have in Beirut and in the region,” says Wilson Issa, Managing Director of SMG Beirut. “This accolade is driven not only by our people, but also by our clients, who continue to support our drive to innovate and transform their businesses.”

Further anchoring the quality of work and rigorous creativity coming out of the MENA region, the UAE ranked the 8th creative country in the world.

However, the MENA region wasn’t the only market that saw SMG come on top, as the agency’s Australia office was named the number one media agency, while SMG Global was anointed the top media network, a title it has maintained for three consecutive years.
