Ha, ha! Scottish firm Why Research nominated in Best New Agency category when it was founded by the former owners of George Street Research, which went bust, leaving previous employees without employment or their earned salaries. Good choice MRS!

Well done to all the nominees, just getting onto this list is an achievement in itself. I am especially delighted to see that the Diageo planning team are included again this year - a team of smart and passionate people who repeatedly make a difference, across all areas of the Diageo business.
