The U.S. was the most awarded advertising market in the world during 2011, according to an annual analysis of the major advertising awards competitions released this morning by The Gunn Report. According to Gunn, the U.S. won with the “second highest” score ever in the history of its reports. The U.K. ranked second, followed by Brazil, Argentina and Germany. The U.S. results no doubt were aided by the strong performance of individual agencies, especially Wieden + Kennedy’s Portland headquarters, which ranked as the second most awarded agency in the world. It ranked just behind Wieden + Kennedy’s Amsterdam office, marking the first time two offices of the same agency ranked first and second.
