Brand and advertising group Joe Public United continued their winning streak with its integrated digital agency, Joe Public Connect, breaking new ground in the digital sphere. Following their success of being the most awarded agency in 2017, the team walked home with an impressive list of 14 awards that included the coveted Digital Agency of the year, Digital Brand of the Year (Black by Cell C), and Corporate of the Year (SAB) titles.
Winning across a wide range of categories, the awards collected are not only a demonstration of the agency’s diverse strengths, but is living testament to the agency’s purpose of growth through integral digital innovation.
The growth of their people is an important purpose pillar for the digital agency and as such, evidence of this can be seen in the Gold accolades won in the individual categories scooped for Best Community Engagement Manager Award and Best Digital Designer of the Year.
