Uncommon Creative Studio will compete with seven rivals as it seeks to retain its crown as Creative Agency of the Year at ±±¾©Èü³µpk10’s UK Agency of the Year Awards 2021.
Adam & Eve/DDB, Havas London, Lucky Generals, McCann UK, Pablo, The Brooklyn Brothers and VCCP are also shortlisted in a hotly contested category that attracted a significant number of entries.
There was also fierce competition to win a place on the eight-strong shortlist for Media Agency of the Year. Goodstuff Communications, which announced its sale to Stagwell earlier this week, faces Havas Media, Initiative, MediaCom, Mediahub, OMD UK, Wavemaker and Zenith.
The shortlist for the awards, which recognises agencies, teams and individuals, was revealed ahead of the final round of judging.
Klein brings experience both as a leading client and a former agency leader, having previously been chief executive of Europe and Asia-Pacific for The Engine Group.
Brand-side marketers judge ±±¾©Èü³µpk10’s Agency of the Year awards.
