MCAR coverThe newly published Mumbrella Creative Agency Review examines Australia’s top 30 ad agencies. Today Robin Hicks examines how Leo Burnett Sydney has fared over the last 12 months.

To think of the impact Leo Burnett Sydney has had on the industry in recent years. Earth Hour. The boss starring in hit ad show The Gruen Transfer. Consistently one of Australia’s biggest award winners. Winning Campaign Brief’s NSW creative agency of the year. Ranking top of AdNews’ list of Australia’s most awarded agencies.
