Brisbane named Queensland Agency of the Year at 2011 B&T Awards
GPY&R Brisbane was named Queensland Agency of the Year at the 2011 B&T Awards, capping off a year in which the agency dominated the new business league table and produced some outstanding creative work.
“We set ourselves some big goals at the start of the year and we pretty much hit all of them in one of the most difficult trading environments in living memory,” said Mike Harris, the agency’s managing director. “Clients are demanding more and more from their agencies and there have been more significant pitches than in any time in the past 10 years. Through all this we have managed to grow and prosper.”
Harris paid tribute to the team for its tremendous effort in winning 18 new clients and being Brisbane’s most awarded agency for the year. He also acknowledged the outstanding role the agency played in helping state and local government authorities deal with the spate of natural disasters that hit Queensland during the year.
“It is really hard to win these awards,” Harris said. “Savour the moment and think about just how good this win is and what you have achieved this year.”
He added: “Bring on 2012.”
