The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings can be viewed by Agency, Independent Agency, Brand-Side Agency, Network, Holding Company, Brand, Brand Parent Company, Non-Profit Client, Production Company, Music & Sound Company, Creative, Highest Ranked Work, Country, Region, and Creatives (globally, and by region and country), using dropdown menus.
Rankings in each category are calculated by the company that garners the most points overall for winning entries based on One Show Pencils, ADC Cubes, Merits, and Special Awards, allocated as follows: Gold 15 points, Silver seven, Bronze three, Merit one, Fusion, SDG, CMO, and Green Pencil 30 each, Designism Cube 45, Best of Discipline 45, Penta Pencil 50, and Best of Show 90.
If the same entry wins multiple awards within a discipline, the points for the highest award in that discipline is counted towards 'of the Year' awards. Points are only awarded to agencies listed as Primary and Secondary on entries. If several agencies are listed under Primary and Secondary, the points are divided among them.
A total of 19,579 pieces from 66 countries and regions were entered in The One Show 2022, an increase of 10.5% over last year. Entries in the ADC 101st Annual Awards increased 15.7% for 2022 to 10,565 pieces from 54 countries.
The One Club awards shows each have their distinct focus. The One Show judges focus on creativity of ideas and quality of execution, while juries for the ADC Annual Awards maintain their long-running concentration as the champion for craft, design and innovation.
