It’s soooo toxic. First of all, a company that you don’t give permission to ranks you and publishes your name without consent as if they’re the arbiter of human value. Secondly they do a TERRIBLE job of it, last year they left out at least 3 international awards on my ranking for important shows. Thirdly they factor their own garbage shows into the mix so that people pay to enter them despite being entirely valueless to the creative community. It’s essentially extortion, if you want to rank on this list you have to enter our shows.
And the vanity posts from people who are humbled and proud. I find it all to be so so cringe and epically toxic. I’m all for winning key awards at big shows, but strategy magazine is a parasite and this list does more harm than good. That my take.
I corrected them last year because they left off ALL of my awards lol, and they did fix it in the end (I was top 20 so annoying but good that they fixed it)

It’s a reflection of an agency’s award budget more than individual talent.
and which categories we can game. Places like rethink know which categories at specific award shows they can inundate with entries because they know competition will be barren/weak in them.
I know because i was told to focus on specific types of ideas to help in that regard lol.
There are two ADs on the list who aren’t even in the industry any more. Like haven’t made any work in a couple years. How does that work?
A campaign they’ve worked on still got awards this past year then.
