Over the past week, we've seen a remarkable level of recognition for our people, our work and our clients across Australia and New Zealand.

From global award wins and industry accolades to the recognition of outstanding women across our business, these achievements reflect the incredible talent, ambition and collaboration that exists across dentsu ANZ.

We have recently taken important steps to simplify our business and bring our teams closer together. While transformation is never a single moment, it's encouraging to see the strength of our integrated model already being reflected in the quality of our work, the success of our clients and the recognition of our people.

This week alone we have:

• Earned international recognition with a Titanium shortlist at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for Reverse Media Schedules
• Won three Gold awards at the Festival of Media Global Awards, including two Gold trophies for dentsu Aotearoa's Export Ultra Cold Call Back Service campaign and a Gold for dentsu Australia through our partnership with Medibank and Colenso BBDO.
• Celebrated 24 women from across dentsu being recognised in the B&T Women of Power list
• Secured 14 finalists at the Beacon Awards
• Achieved 9 finalists at the MFA Awards
• Are supporting 19 outstanding women from across our business as entrants in the B&T Women in Media Awards

To see our momentum turn into a week of recognition for our ANZ team and clients on both the local and global stage is so rewarding. It highlights the depth of talent across our region and our commitment to delivering meaningful work that creates lasting impact and value for our clients. I am so proud of our teams across ANZ.

While award wins are never the ultimate goal, they are an important reminder of what is possible when we bring together diverse expertise, challenge our own thinking and work as one team around our clients' ambitions.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these achievements. This recognition belongs to all of you, and it gives us every reason to be excited about what comes next.
