    This year, however, the agency may find itself constrained by the difficulties of its parent agency in Britain, which saw its billings drop by 35%, and its rank in the Campaign top 100 agencies from nine to 19.

    In hot pursuit were last year's winner, Ogilvy Johannesburg, and then TBWA Hunt Lascaris. Ogilvy Cape was fourth, ensuring the two Ogilvy giants both held a top-10 spot for the second straight year. The Cape Town shop, FoxP2, came back from a self-imposed moratorium on awards. See the Creative Leaderboard update below for full list of winners.
