SAUSALITO, Calif., July 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent creative agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP) was named 2018 Small Agency of the Year overall by Ad Age – the leading global source of news, intelligence and conversation for marketing and media communities. This year’s honorees were named at the Small Agency Conference, which took place in Los Angeles on July 17-18.
The awards – now in its ninth year – recognize independent agencies of 150 employees or less who are producing innovative and groundbreaking work. BSSP took home the award’s top Gold honor for majority-independent owned small agencies, as determined by Ad Age and Creativity editorial staff.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Ad Age at this year’s Small Agency Awards. We are so proud of our team, who show up with boundless energy and creativity every day,” said Greg Stern, Chief Executive Officer of BSSP. “This recognition also belongs to our amazing client partners, who trust us with their brands and champion brave work.”
This award comes on the heels of a number of notable creative campaigns from BSSP over the last year, including those for clients like 2K Sports, Mitsubishi, Greyhound, Blue Shield of California, and Rao’s Homemade.
“At a time when our agency model continues to evolve, these awards showcase just how powerful nimble, boutique shops still are,” said John Butler, Chief Creative Officer of BSSP. “This award is an indication that we are headed in the right direction and achieving our goals.”
Celebrating its 25th year in business, BSSP has stayed ahead of the industry by being one of the first agencies to acquire a digital firm and grow the practice, as well as incorporating data analytics before many understood the critical skillset. Named Small Agency of the Decade by Adweek in 2010, BSSP continues its success with its first Ad Age Small Agency accolade.
