Top 5

As an advertiser I always look up to the best advertising agencies around the world not only UAE and what they have to offer. Even though there isn't a "top ten advertising agencies of 2013" there is one done by Forbes of 2012.

The first or may I say the best agency chosen by Forbes is Grey Advertising. Grey's creativity and impressive performance allowed it to succeed and show off it's best to the world.
Here are some well known ad's by Grey Advertising

Second is Wieden+ Kennedy. Known for their top creativity for the past 30 years as well as staying on top W+K's top clients are Coke, Nike and P&G (Old Spice). Here are some of their ad's:

The third firm chosen by Forbes is Butler, Shine, Stern. They are greatly known for their Nokia and MINI ad's.

Forth comes Ogilvy. I have to admit even though I have seen the previous ad's I did not know which agency was responsible for such creativity. Here is one that is very well known, and perhaps the first agency in the UAE. Ogilvy achieved the unthinkable in the advertising world receiving two awards one from Effie's and the other from Cannes Lions.

Last one for the day is BBDO. BBDO is a 122 year old agency. Creativity from BBDO is over the top for their mantra is "The Work. The Work. The Work."
