Munich, 5 June 2018 — At the Festival of Media Global Awards 2018 in Rome, the Mediaplus Group was honoured with the Grand Prix for Independent Agency of the Year. This builds on the success of the previous year, when Mediaplus also received the award. For the festival, an experienced panel of judges consisting of many international media experts, digital innovators and brand creatives evaluates the most innovative media and communication ideas from all around the world.

Andrea Malgara, Managing Director of the Mediaplus Group: "Receiving this fantastic award shows once again that our efforts to become an international player are bearing fruit and that we are on the right path. Above all, I'd like to extend my thanks to all colleagues for their exceptional work and unwavering enthusiasm."

Back in March, the Mediaplus Group was the only German media agency to make it into the top ten in the international Gunn Report rankings, coming in at number eight. In the same month, the Group was the best performer at the German Media Awards. One month earlier, Mediaplus was the top-rated media agency in Germany in the list of media agencies drawn up by Recma, an independent French market research institute.
