Colenso BBDO Auckland ('Child replacement program'), Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney ('Landcruiser emergency network') and BBH Singapore ('Nike unlimited stadium') also appear on that list.

  • Australia (3), Japan (7) and Thailand (10) represent Asia-Pacific on the list of the 'most creative countries'.
