Mother is ±±¾©Èü³µpk10's Agency of the Year 2001, having taken on an
impressive £64 million in new-business billings and produced some
of the year's strongest creative work.

enjoyed five years of growth and has continually bettered peers with
high creative standards led by the founders, Robert Saville and Mark
Waites.

worth £27 million, were won, while the agency consolidated its
position on Coca-Cola's roster with Schweppes and Alive.

impressive new-business record and creative quality would have secured
the accolade for the agency in almost any other year.

strategy developed by Naked, was an instant hit with consumers.

impressive new-business record, bagged the Media Agency of the Year
