Phoenix Ogilvy has been named 2025 Sri Lanka Agency of the Year after topping The Campaign Brief Asia’s Creative Rankings as the most internationally awarded agency in the country.
The agency’s ranking also marks Sri Lanka’s return to the list in 2025, following the country’s absence from it the previous year.
The Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings annually evaluate the top 100 most awarded creative agencies in Asia, based on their achievements across leading international award shows.
The rankings are widely regarded as one of Asia’s most credible measures of creative excellence. Agencies accumulate points purely from award wins across major international creative shows, making it one of the longestrunning and most respected benchmarks of creative performance in the region.
Phoenix Ogilvy secured the top spot in the national table, amassing an impressive 295 Creative Ranking points after standout wins across six major international creative award shows, including London International Awards (LIA), One Asia Awards, Clio Awards, AdFest, Spikes Asia, and Campaign Brief’s The Work.
Being ranked at the top not only signals national creative leadership for Phoenix Ogilvy but also exhibits the agency’s talent strength. In a testament to this creative calibre, the agency’s talent dominated the Campaign Brief Asia’s Individual Creative Rankings in Sri Lanka.
Leading this list is Nadeera Warawita with 250 Creative Ranking points, followed by Sakuna Ranasinghe at No. 2 with 220 points, and Samitha Kaushalya at No. 3 with 150 points. Meanwhile ranked jointly at No. 4, are Dilshi Aberaja, Dilshard Ahamed, Harsha Kumara, Kasun Wadumestri, Keshan Silva, and Suresh Kumar. At no. 10 is Dilshi Thathsarani.
Speaking on these achievements, Irvin Weerackody, Chairman of the Ogilvy Group Sri Lanka, said, “Creativity has always been our lifeblood, and it is encouraging to see that commitment recognised on the world stage. The real test of an agency is not the trophies, but the courage to create with integrity, especially today. These achievements not only reflect the capability of our talent, but importantly their discipline, their cultural instinct and their refusal to take the easy way out. I am proud of our teams, who continue to push themselves year after year to raise the bar and uphold the standards we believe in.”
