Congrats are in order for Chicago’s We Are Unlimited.

After opening 18 months ago, the Omnicom agency is among the most awarded creative agencies in Chicago.

We Are Unlimited has placed at every major award show and has been recognized for creating some of the best work in the industry. The agency has received more than 30 different accolades during the 2018 award season alone. Most recently, the agency won an impressive six Lions at Cannes, one of which was a Gold. This is a 600% increase in Lions for We Are Unlimited, which won just one Lion last year and is still an impressive accomplishment for an agency that was only six months old at the time.

This year We Are Unlimited also scored big at their first D&AD show, which is considered the other toughest international award show besides Cannes.

The agency took home six pencils which culminated in We Are Unlimited being ranked as one of the top ten agencies in the world, and ahead of prestigious shops such as Droga5, Grey, TBWA, and FCB.

Locally, We Are Unlimited’s work has received top honors at The Addy’s which are first judged at a Chicago level and then at a national level. In the local round, We Are Unlimited won nine awards, the most of any Chicago agency, which includes heavy hitters like Ogilvy and Leo Burnett. At the National Addy’s, We Are Unlimited was the only Chicago agency to advance to the national round and won a Gold and two Silver trophies.

By design, We Are Unlimited eliminates the roadblocks a traditional agency model poses to the creative ideation process. This new freedom has unlocked new ways of thinking, which has led to new ways of working, and ultimately resulted in creative excellence. And this new agency model has led We Are Unlimited to become one of the most awarded agencies in less than two years in, having received top honors for numerous campaigns that leveraged a range of creative channels.

We Are Unlimited’s ability to ideate, create and launch any asset, whether it’s a Tweet, a tray-liner, or a TV spot, demonstrates that the agency’s model is unlike any other and truly the Agency of the Future. While the mounting accolades the agency has been awarded for executing integrated campaigns and innovative ideas is proof that We Are Unlimited is built to deliver best in class creativity.
