Special Claims Its Third Grand Prix At The B&T Awards 2023!

Special Claims Its Third Grand Prix At The B&T Awards 2023!

Special might have missed the three-peat last year when Howatson+Company took out the Grand Prix. But the agency with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealand, Los Angeles, New York and London has claimed its third Grand Prix in four years at the 2023 edition of the B&T Awards.

In front of a packed crowd at Sydney’s famous Hordern Pavilion, Special prevailed in what was a much tighter race for the Grand Prix than we have seen for some years. With four Campaign Awards and two other Agency of the Year Awards (AOTY), Special edged out Thinkerbell, which also won two AOTY Awards, but only one Campaign Award.

CHEP Network also had a good night, winning three campaign awards as well as the Best Digital Transformation gong.

The remainder of the awards were shared around, showing the vibrancy and competitiveness of our industry.

Our heartiest congratulations to tonight’s many winners, a big thank you to our sponsors and may god bless you all.

Below is the complete list of winners. If you want to relieve the excitement of each category’s finalists, here is a link the finalists announcements. And if you were so inclined, you could refresh your memory of the work that got all of the finalists there on the night here.

And, you should absolutely check out an in-depth read of the winners here.
