The Agency of The Year Middle East 2025 awards have further extended the deadline to submit to Thursday, 25 September. Entries can be submitted here and the entry kit is available here.

Regarded as one of the region’s most coveted awards scheme, the Agency of The Year Middle East 2025 awards are judged by industry leaders who will pick out the best agencies based on business performance, agency culture, innovation, and diversity.

The award categories, include a list of agency speciality awards, independent agency awards, people and teams awards, as well as awards set apart for top performing agencies from different countries in the Middle East region.

This year, Emma Campbell, Sector Marketing Director – Strategic Marketing and Communications at the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), is the Chair judge at Campaign’s Agency of the Year Middle East awards.

As Chair judge, Campbell says she looks forward to seeing ‘the full package’ from agency entries this year.

“It’s not just about the work itself, but about how agencies are growing financially, meeting strategic goals, and supporting their people along the way,” Campbell explains. “Agencies that focus on diversity, inclusion, and sustainability also stand out here.”

“Judges want to see clear evidence of financial growth and business success, like revenue increases, profit margins, and market share gains. It’s about telling the story with solid data. Culture matters too: low staff turnover, strong employee engagement, and meaningful diversity initiatives are key.” Campbell adds.

The jury is made up of senior brand marketers who could one day be your clients. Furthermore, MediaSense audits the judging panel to ensure ethical judging.
