We're a Revolution Agency of the Year finalist

Zone has been shortlisted in the headline Agency of the Year category at the 2011 Revolution Awards.

We’re one of just three agencies to make the shortlist, alongside AKQA and Saint@RKCR/Y&R. We’re thrilled with the news, and flattered to be in such prestigious company. In addition to the Agency of the Year nomination, we’ve also been shortlisted for Best Use of Email for our work on Mothercare’s pregnancy campaign.

All agencies claim that delivering effective work for clients is more important than winning industry gongs, and of course we wholeheartedly agree. But after a stellar year on the awards circuit, including wins at the 2010 NMA Effectiveness Awards, Revolution Awards and International Customer Publishing Awards, we’re starting to appreciate the recognition that these annual prizes signify.

The relentless pace of life in a digital agency means we rarely take the time to sit back and reflect. Recognition from our peers is great for us, but just as importantly, it is great for our clients and the teams who work on their business.

The results aren’t announced until April 14, so it’s a bit premature to start writing a speech. For now, we’d just like to say thanks to everyone who helped us have a fantastic 12 months.
