February 2025: Global Saudi-based BigTime Creative Shop is pleased to announce that it has been included in The Drum World Creative Rankings 2025.
BigTime Creative Shop, which was established less than 16 months ago, only made its debut on the awards scene in the last year, and has attained the incredible achievement of being recognised as the most awarded Independent Agency in both APAC and MEA.
The agency has made it onto an unprecedented four separate World Ranking lists; a feat which showcases the quality of the agency’s creative work across the world.
The Drum’s World Creative Ranking Lists 2025 features the most awarded creative people, companies and campaigns in the world.
In addition to making number 1 on the most awarded Independent Agencies in both APAC and MEA, the creative shop also achieved the ranking of 12th most awarded Independent Agency globally as well as 63rd on the list of the World’s most awarded Agencies overall and ranked 26th in EMEA when taking all agencies into account.
BigTime’s disruptive, highly effective creative work in 2024 included critically acclaimed fan favourite film “Knockout Chaos” featuring Anthony Joshua, “Usyk Fury 2, “Six Kings Slam” and cinematic film “Touching Hands” directed by Guy Ritchie.
The Rankings news comes after a busy start to the year for BigTime. Its most recent creative work includes “The Last Crescendo”, a cinematic film that was launched in February ahead of the Riyadh Season rematch between light-heavyweight boxers Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol with the introduction of ground-breaking AI Fourth Judge.
Mohammed Sehly, CEO at BigTime Creative Shop, says: “It is an honour to be featured in The Drum World Creative Rankings. We are delighted to see that BigTime has ranked so highly among independent agencies and that is a testament to our collective hard work across 2024.
“I’d like to thank our partners especially Riyadh Season headed by his excellency Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of GEA, for their trust and all our colleagues in the agency for the immense creativity and drive they bring to our company. It is thanks to their brilliant ideas and their dedication to their craft that we have had such a successful year when it comes to awards.”
BigTime was, according to the Effies, the fastest-growing and most-awarded agency in MENA region in 2024. Their work not only grows client business and wins vast audiences, it enables brands to drive culture and connect with the next generation, delivering on their mission to be a creative powerhouse on the global stage.
