About Loeries Official Rankings

The Loeries Official Rankings offer a comprehensive overview of the annual performance across the brand communications industry throughout Africa and the Middle East. The rankings list the top brands and agencies, as well as special focus areas and individual performance in key areas. Here’s the exact methodology used to create the list: A credited brand gets full points, irrespective of the entering agency Points are given for each award. Here are how the points were awarded: 300 points for Grand Prix 110 points for Gold 40 points for Silver 15 points for Bronze 90 points for Craft Gold 30 points for Craft Certificate 5 points for finalists (to a maximum of 45 points for finalists). All campaign categories were awarded 1.5 times the points. Single entries (Type A) that are combined into one campaign award during judging received 1.5 times the points. Where more than one company has been credited for anyone credit, the points were divided equally between the parties. Where more than one individual has been credited for anyone credit, each individual got full points. A person was only awarded points for the most senior creative position, even if his/her name is listed in multiple creative credits. As long as there is one name per credit, then each credit got full points. A company didn’t receive points as both an agency and as a production company. Production companies received points from international craft entries; however, agencies did not receive any points.
