It is the second consecutive year Icon has taken out top SABRE honours for Australasia – and the fifth ‘Agency of the Year’ accolade for the firm in the past 18 months.
“To win this award for the second time is huge, not only for us but also as a whole agency,” said Icon Agency Managing Director, Joanne Painter. “We have seen massive growth in the company over the last 12 months, including the addition of tech brands MyFitnessPal, Luno and Placie to the agency roster.

“Chris and I would like to dedicate this win to all of our team members who have worked hard in creating an impact and bringing change to the world around us.” said Joanne Painter.
