Among a crowd of almost 700 eager finalists at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore, the independent local media agency shone bright as an industry leader and top performer for the year.

Over 700 client marketers in Singapore participated in Marketing’s annual Marketing Spend Benchmarking Survey to determine the finalists in each of the categories.


“We are elated by this award. Claiming the Local Hero award not only demonstrates the good work we do for our clients, it is also endorsements from client marketers. The Media Shop has grown leaps and bounds since its inception in 2009, and we attribute this success to our fun and dedicated team who demonstrated great might working through challenging times,” said Gary Tang, Executive Director of The Media Shop.


From a high profile jury made up of 25 client marketers from leading brands including DBS Bank, Friesland Campina, Lenovo, Tigerair and VISA assessed finalists submissions on key criteria covering business performance, team development, the depth of the agency’s contributions to the industry and community and the quality of work executed over the past year.

Jessica Toh, Regional Business Director added, “With this milestone achievement, we are even more motivated to bring our service standards up a notch and partner our clients in Australia, Singapore and Taiwan to bring their brand to their audience.”
