APG Creative Strategy Awards 2025
The APG Creative Strategy Awards represent the very best of our discipline. They celebrate magic and logic. Imagination and effectiveness. The bonkers and the unexpected as much as the elegant and rigorous.
This year, we seek a rich variety of diverse and compelling cases that showcase the vast spectrum of creative strategy from brilliant minds everywhere. Because the awards are for all of us: to inspire, to educate, and ultimately to raise the bar on the work we put out into the world.
So whether you're from a large agency or a small one; whatever your experience level and wherever you're located, we want to hear your story.
