Dubai – OMD MENA has been named Media Network of the Year for the second year running, sweeping 26 awards, including five Grand Prix and five gold trophies, across eight competitions.
The award-winning work came from several clients, including Nissan, McDonald’s and Amnesty International. It also cut across several disciplines, such as media, branded content, mobile, promo/activation and integrated, among others. The work is a testament to the collaborative nature of the relationship between OMD and its agency and client partners.
A few days prior, Communicate Middle East magazine crowned OMD as Media Agency and Network of the Year, based on its 2017 awards performance at regional and international festivals.
“The Dubai Lynx Awards are a key parameter of success of our work. The fact that OMD excelled across several disciplines such as direct, media, mobile, interactive and PR, speaks volumes about our relentless focus on innovation, creativity and performance,” said Nadim Samara, CEO of OMD UAE. “I couldn’t be prouder of our dedicated teams who produced successful work for our clients. They more than deserve this recognition.”
