Awards

We’re proud of what our clients and our people have achieved. We’re especially proud that Blue Rubicon has a record of award wins unmatched by any agency in the history of our industry. 

Blue Rubicon and our campaigns have been shortlisted for 147 awards, winning 50 times. We have been short-listed for agency awards 33 times, winning PR Week Consultancy of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and CIPR Consultancy of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 

In 2011, Blue Rubicon was awarded a place in Brand Republic’s Hall of Fame in recognition of the defining role our agency has played in the last 10 years.

We’re proudest of the campaign awards we’ve won or for which we’ve received commendation with our clients, and those voted for independently by our people.

Awards aren't everything but we hope our record attests to the consistent quality of our work.
