We are absolutely thrilled to have retained our Number 1 position in Europe with another record-breaking performance.
He continued:”Effectiveness is a critical measure of the value of our work and these awards are particularly important because they are a celebration of real, measurable impact- something we are consistently committed to. Our deep client partnerships based on a strong shared culture of trust and collaboration are at the heart of this achievement. We are honoured to share this award with our clients and our teams, particularly against the backdrop of the challenging conditions we have all been working in.”
