Emma Campbell is Chair judge at Campaign's Agency of The Year Middle East awards
Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) – Abu Dhabi's Emma Campbell, has been named Chair of judges for the 2025 edition of Campaign's Agency of The Year Middle East (AOTYME) awards. With more than 20 years of experience across various sectors, Campbell currently leads sector marketing for Tourism and Culture at the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), where she develops and executes strategic marketing initiatives to promote the emirate's diverse tourism and cultural offerings to global audiences. As Chair judge, Campbell says the true strength of the AOTYME awards lies in its recognition of regional agencies' hard work – backed by business outcomes. 'I think these awards are really important because they cut through all the noise in a busy market and highlight agencies that are genuinely delivering – both creatively and in terms of business results,' she says. 'Plus, winning these awards is a huge motivator for teams – it recognises their hard work and pushes them to keep raising the bar. It's about celebrating the whole package, not just the final campaign,' she adds. What to include in a stand-out entry Leading up to the awards ceremony in December, Campbell will lead the jury panel of top-level marketers in the region. As Chair judge, Campbell says she looks forward to seeing 'the full package' from agency entries this year. 'It's not just about the work itself, but about how agencies are growing financially, meeting strategic goals, and supporting their people along the way,' Campbell explains. 'Agencies that focus on diversity, inclusion, and sustainability also stand out here.' 'Judges want to see clear evidence of financial growth and business success, like revenue increases, profit margins, and market share gains. It's about telling the story with solid data. Culture matters too: low staff turnover, strong employee engagement, and meaningful diversity initiatives are key.' Campbell adds. According to her, the best entries show a 'well-rounded, strategic, and results-driven agency.' 'Innovation should be front and center, with clear examples of how new tech or approaches delivered measurable benefits. And of course, client partnerships need to shine, backed up by satisfaction scores and real testimonials,' she says. To help agencies understand the awards on how to build submissions that fit specifically for the criteria of these awards, Campaign Middle East, in partnership with Haymarket, is hosting its first ever Awards Clinic on 10 July at 1 p.m. GST. The free FAQ webinar will review the entry kit, entry process and judging process for the 2025 awards. A dynamic time for the region's industry The 2025 AOTYME awards come at a pivotal time of change within the industry, where advancements in technology and changing consumer behaviours have led to drastic shifts in how agencies operate. 'What's really exciting is how the region is blending global marketing trends with a unique local flavor,' Campbell says. 'Agencies are combining international best practices with deep regional insights, creating work that really connects with people here. The pace of change is thrilling – new tech, evolving consumer behaviours, and fresh creative approaches are all driving growth.' She also nods to the structural shifts artificial intelligence (AI) brings to agency operations. 'AI is a huge game-changer, helping agencies work smarter and freeing them up to focus on strategy and creativity. I'm proud to see homegrown talent leading the way and building inclusive cultures that attract and retain top people. Overall, it feels like a very dynamic, innovative time to be in marketing here,' she says. Join us for a night of celebrating the best in the region With a comprehensive list of 36 categories covering every facet of advertising and marketing, these awards are your chance to shine within the industry.

Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has congratulated TBWA\RAAD on being named the World's Best Place to Work at the 2025 Campaign Global Agency of the Year Awards, a first for any agency in the Middle East. The recognition marks a significant milestone not only for the agency but also for Dubai's growing reputation as a global centre for creativity, innovation and talent. His Excellency Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, part of DET, said: 'We extend our warmest congratulations to TBWA\RAAD on this well-deserved award, a testament to its dedication to excellence within Dubai's thriving creative landscape. As Dubai consolidates its position as a leading city for business and leisure, achievements like this underscore our commitment to fostering innovation and providing a platform for global impact.' His Excellency Issam Kazim added that Dubai's supportive environment is what allows companies like TBWA\RAAD to flourish on a global scale. 'By creating a business-friendly environment, attracting and nurturing world-class talent, and promoting a culture of creativity, we are making Dubai the best city to visit, live, and work in. TBWA\RAAD stands as an example of a company that is both capitalising on Dubai's enabling environment and contributing to its continued economic growth and success,' said the Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing CEO, part of DET. Headquartered in Dubai, TBWA\RAAD has previously been certified as a Great Place to Work® and named on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and Best Workplaces for Women lists. This latest recognition by Campaign affirms its place among the top global creative employers and reinforces the strength of its internal culture. Reda Raad, Group CEO, TBWA\RAAD, said: 'Dubai is where global ambition meets everyday possibility, and our Pirates prove it. Disruption® is more than a creative philosophy –it's the foundation of our culture. When we invest first in people, we unlock ideas that move markets and mind-sets. Being named the Best Place to Work in the world is proof that we have built the most inspiring agency workplace on the planet, with the best Pirates.' Raad added that the win belongs not only to the team at TBWA\RAAD but also to the city of Dubai, 'for fostering an environment where achievements like this are possible.' The award was presented as part of the anual Campaign Global Agency of the Year Awards, which recognise agencies for excellence in creativity, culture, effectiveness, and innovation. TBWA\RAAD's win in the workplace category signals the region's growing competitiveness on the global stage – not just in creative output, but in building sustainable, people-first workplaces. The agency said it will continue to champion talent, nurture innovation and export Dubai's creative energy to the world.

Strategic Planning Leader of The Year 2024: Tahaab Rais, Publicis Groupe ME&T
The Gold winner of Strategic Planning Leader of The Year 2024 for Campaign's Global Agency of the Year Awards is Tahaab Rais, Chief Strategy Officer and Film Director, Publicis Groupe ME&T. Since joining Publicis Groupe in 2022 as its first regional chief strategy officer working across the Middle East and Turkey (ME&T), Rais has transformed the network's ME&T operations into a strategic powerhouse, delivering a +6.6 per cent organic revenue growth in the hard commercial reality of 2024's challenging economic climate. By introducing new models of thinking, Rais has reimagined how strategy should work – from '4P' a proprietary strategic thinking model, to 'OPEN' for democratised strategic and creative thinking, to 'The A.I. Strategist' a suite of AI tools, to 'Collabs' for synergies between brands, and a novel measurement framework called the '7 Dimensions of Effectiveness' – these initiatives have evolved how Publicis Groupe ME&T delivers proactive and evolved strategic thinking for clients in the region. Saudia Airlines 'Rihla' (meaning 'journey') was shot across three countries. Besides co-writing and directing the moving narrative film, Tahaab also handled camerawork in Mecca amongst 2 million pilgrims. NBA's 'Jump' tackled female basketball exclusion in India, while repurposing neglected fishing nets, demonstrating strategy that solves multiple problems simultaneously. Meanwhile, 'ProtecTasbih' – self-sanitising prayer beads – proved that strategic innovation can emerge from addressing pilgrims' practical needs. Rais' 'Duvet Days' initiative gives strategy team members the opportunity to take days off during weekdays, in lieu of overtime hours worked, to allow for rejuvenation and self-care. This is combined with breakfast or lunch delivered to their homes. Judges called Rais 'a visionary leader who redefines what strategy means in today's ever-evolving landscape. A clear towering strength of impact across his agency.' Shortlisted: Sophia Durrani, MG OMD Celia Garforth, Special This content was first published on Campaign UK.
