Most recently, BBDO Bangkok has been named Agency of the Year and Digital Agency of the Year at AdmanAwards 2016, while Suthisak was named Southeast Asia Creative of the Year 2016 by CampaignAsia.
The Lotus Legend has been given to top international creative figures such as Akira Kagami (2012) David Droga (2013) Yasmin Ahmad (2014) Neil French (2015) and Sheung Yan Lo (2016).
