WINNERS ANNOUNCED

1st July

On 1st July 2025 the excellent work of independent agencies will be celebrated like never before. The Independent Agency Award winners will be announced live on the hexagon stage at MAD//Fest 2025.

Independent agencies are a special, exclusive group of creative companies and made up of individuals that are bound by a shared spirit of independence, ideas, and purpose, not just by the services they provide. In today’s creative landscape, independence has become increasingly important.

One thing remains the same regardless of how complex the marketing landscape becomes – the best ideas come from independent minds.

As we look to 2025 and the opportunity to grow on what was a fantastic 2024 Independent Agency Awards event. The Alliance of Independent Agencies found it fitting that a talented, boisterous, agile group of agencies should be represented by an equally talented, boisterous, agile trade show. Our continued partnership with MAD//Fest will allow us to house the exceptional work from our agencies and give them the big stage that they deserve.

The Independent Agency Awards, in partnership with MAD//Fest, are back to honor the trailblazing work that defines the independent agency sector. This is where the dedication, creativity, and expertise of winning agencies and individuals are acknowledged. They will ‘Get Their Wings,’ a fitting tribute to their accomplishments.

Reflecting on Last Year’s Exceptional Showcase: Our previous awards were a testament to the ingenuity of independent agencies. These agencies demonstrated remarkable bravery, agility, and above all, unparalleled creativity. The collaborations between agencies and clients were particularly noteworthy, leading to groundbreaking and impactful work.

Looking Ahead with Anticipation: Our commitment to championing the independent spirit continues. Through our collaboration with MAD//Fest, we extend the stage for independent agencies to share their achievements and innovations from the last year. It’s more than just an award ceremony; it’s a platform to celebrate the bold and the creative.
