    2021 Epica Awards Top 10 ranked agencies

    The US, France and Canada have been ranked as the top three countries and regions respectively in the yearly rankings of agencies by the 2021 Epica Awards.

    This year saw 3,184 entries from 64 countries, a dramatic increase on the difficult year before (1980 entries) and close to the 2019 level. The highest number of entries came from the US (206) followed by Germany (200).

    Positivity in the industry

    “The entries this year seemed to reflect a general feeling of positivity in the industry, at least compared to 2020,” says Mark Tungate, editorial director Epica Awards.

    The jury seemed to feel it too he adds. “It didn’t surprise me that the two Film Grand Prix were both uplifting, from the humour of &Co./NoA with its funny road safety campaign - about a viking who refuses to wear a helmet - to the superbly choreographed “Festive”, by RiffRaff Films, for Burberry.”

    He says dance was also one of the trends he spotted.

    “The number of print entries has been slowly decreasing over the years, but I was pleased to see that the excellent print campaign by Leo Burnett for McDonald’s also got a Grand Prix,” he says.

    “The general trend is away from traditional advertising towards experiences, events and digital solutions. Many of these are amazing, but I’m glad we can still celebrate a great film or an eye-catching poster,” says Tungate.
