AGENCY AWARDS FINALISTS
WHO'S IN THE
RUNNING?
The finalists for Meta’s Agency Awards have been named, with agencies from across Australia and New Zealand recognised for work spanning performance, creative, creators, technology, measurement and strategy.
The awards arrive in the ANZ region after Meta announced their launch in March this year, bringing the global awards program to Australia and New Zealand for the first time.
The Agency Awards celebrate agencies delivering standout creative, media and strategic results for clients across Meta’s platforms, with the program recognising the teams and individuals behind work that is bold, strategic and built to deliver real-world impact.
Eligible campaigns ran between 1 October 2025 and 1 September 2026, with entries judged by a panel comprising Meta representatives and external industry leaders.
Now, the wait is over.
The finalists have been selected across seven categories, recognising the breadth of work agencies are delivering across Meta’s platforms and tools.
So, without further ado, here are the finalists…
