Initials Marketing, Elvis Communications and Arc Worldwide also fared well, but Touch DDB secured 14 nominations, and Saatchi & Saatchi X received 12.
The awards ceremony will be held on 4 March. The winners will be decided by a number of marketing experts, with the client judging panel headed by Marc Michaels, director of direct and relationship marketing at COI, and the creative judging panel chaired by John Treacy, creative director at Elvis.
Mike Spicer, chairman of the MCCA, said: "2009 was a tough year with agencies under more pressure than ever, but this has far from dampened creative output."
