The SHOOT Advertising Agency of the Year for 2018 is BBDO New York !!
A long standing tradition, SHOOT will present a special feature on it's pick for Ad Agency of the Year featuring interviews with leading creative and production department heads and key creatives and producers involved in the agencies most challenging and rewarding projects of the year, providing a behind-the-scenes look what makes them Agency of the Year.  2018 marked a year in which BBDO New York received assorted honors while continuing to turn out work that will contend for further accolades--not to mention a major recent win making it the lead creative agency on Ford's global business. Exemplifying BBDO's success in part is this year's primetime Emmy Awards competition, with the agency earning the coveted statue for its poignant "The Talk" PSA for P&G. BBDO NY was the only shop with more than one spot in the Emmy nominees' circle, the other being Monica Lewinsky's anti-bullying "In Real Life" anthem. And BBDO tapped into distinctly different resources for its two Emmy-nominated ads, gravitating to director Malik Vitthal of The Corner Shop for "The Talk" while producing "In Real Life" in-house via BBDO Studios. SHOOT delves into the inner workings of the agency, its creative culture and multi-faceted approach to production.
SHOOT delves into the inner workings of the agency and what made 2018 such a special year; among BBDO notables sharing their expertise will be:

  • David Lubars, chief creative officer, worldwide
  • Greg Hahn, chief creative officer, BBDO NY
  • David Rolfe, director of production, BBDO NY
  • Kirsten Flanik, president & CEO, BBDO NY
