D&AD 2017: Clemenger BBDO Melbourne wins top honour

Following its dominance in the APAC Effies last week, BBDO got more good news overnight, as Clemenger BBDO Melbourne was named the most-awarded agency in the world at the 2017 D&AD awards in London. The agency picked up 16 Pencils overall, including 10 for its 'Meet Graham' campaign—and one of those was one of only five Black Pencils awarded worldwide.

Serviceplan Korea received credit, alongside its German parent, for one of the other four Black Pencils.

In addition to the five Black Pencils, the organisation awarded 62 Yellow Pencils, 180 Graphite Pencils and 485 Wood Pencils. The US took top country honours for the first time, with 182 Pencils, followed by the UK with 164 and Australia with 54. Nike, Channel 4 and Apple were the top advertisers, in that order.

Below, we list details for all the Black Pencil winners and the APAC-based Yellow Pencil winners. For the rest of the results, please see www.dandad.org.
