A relatively low profile promotional agency from Sydney has beaten Australia’s mainstream ad agencies to the highest number of shortlistings for the Australian Promotional Marketing Association’s awards.

Apollo Marketing has clocked up ten shortlistings for July’s Star Awards, well ahead of any other agency.

The next nearest is TBWA / Whybin/ Tequila’s NZ operation which has five shortlistings across the 17 categories, followed by Clemenger Fusion which has four.

Winners of the awards will also go on to compete in the Marketing Agencies Association Worldwide Globes in Boston later in the year.
