The numbers have all been crunched and the Gunn Report for 2011 has been released. The report combines the results of all the significant advertising award schemes around the world, to identify the most successful agencies, campaigns and clients each year. What is clear from the 2011 results is that it was a pretty good year for the Wieden + Kennedy network….

For the first time in the Gunn Report’s history, Wiedens has won the top two places in the Most Awarded Agency category, with Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam coming top, and W+K Portland in second place. It’s a similar story in the Most Awarded Commercials category too, though this time W+K Amsterdam has taken both the number one and number two slots all on its own, with the epic Nike Write The Future spot at the top, and Heineken The Entrance in joint second with Saatchi & Saatchi London’s Welcome Back spot for T-Mobile.
