The One Show

The One Show is the world's most prestigious award show in advertising and design. For over 50 years, the Gold Pencil has been regarded as one of the top prizes in the creative industry. The One Show has a rich legacy of honoring some of the most groundbreaking ideas, created by some of the most remarkable minds in creativity.

Agency of the Year is awarded to the Agency that garners the most points overall for winning entries (Pencils, Merits, Special Awards).
For additional information on rankings and point allocation, view more details directly below.


In order to receive points for the Agency rankings, a credited agency must meet the following:

  • Agency must be credited under the Primary Agency listing on the specific award win.
  • Agency must be credited under one of these credit types:
    Agency, Digital Agency, Media Agency, PR / Marketing Agency

When multiple agencies* meet the above requirements on the same award win, the points for that win are equally divided among those agencies.
*Points are also equally divided with any listed Primary Agency credited under the Design Firm and Brand-Side / In-House Agency credit types.


MULTIPLE AWARDS WITHIN DISCIPLINES
If the same piece of work won multiple awards within a single Discipline or in multiple Disciplines, the points for all award wins were counted towards the rankings.
