JCDecaux crowned 2019 Advertising Agency of the Year by advertisers in France
- Paris
JCDecaux was awarded the coveted 2019 Agency of the Year prize at the CB News 21st Media Grand Prix on September 3rd.
For the past five years, the CB News Media Grand Prix has celebrated the agency that most impressed the advertising market. A shortlist of 25 agencies was preselected by industry professionals, advertisers and media agencies and the awards voted by 195 advertising professionals in an online survey conducted by Harris Interactive between May 16th and July 8th. The advertising agency of the year is selected based on 14 criteria, including innovation, performance, effectiveness, turnaround time and reliability.
JCDecaux won the gold award voted by advertisers and the bronze award decided by agencies and advertisers in the 2019 Grand Prix Advertising Agency of the Year.
This accolade recognises the Sales Marketing Development Department for its sales and marketing strategies over the past few years to provide optimum services to its clients:
The award also celebrates the close relationships JCDecaux has, from its earliest beginnings, cultivated with advertisers. Humbled and delighted by this accolade, the sales team is more motivated than ever to bring the best in outdoor advertising to advertisers and their agencies.
Jean-Charles Decaux, Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said: “We’re proud to have won these two awards that recognise the creative force and efficiency of our sales team. A big thank you to all the industry professionals for their confidence and their votes. France is where our business started; and it is also our showcase. Outdoor advertising has steadily gained market share in the past 15 years. With contracts renewed or won in more than 40 cities and airports in the past 18 months and the acceleration of urban digitisation, including the Monoprix showcases, this demonstrates we offer outstanding assets to our clients. My warm congratulations go to the teams led by Isabelle Schlumberger and Jean Muller for this collective and well-deserved award, which is part of the long tradition of awards won by JCDecaux employees around the world.”
