In a rare double, H+K Strategies won EMEA Consultancy of the Decade and Year honours at the 2020 EMEA SABRE Awards, which took place virtually yesterday.

The WPP firm was named overall EMEA Consultancy of the Decade ahead of Weber Shandwick in second spot and Hanover in third. The trio were highlighted from an EMEA Consultancies of Decade list that also featured Brands2Life, Farner, Hope&Glory, LLYC.

Meanwhile, H+K Strategies was also named Pan-EMEA Consultancy of the Year, for the fourth time in five years, and landed Middle East Consultancy of the Year honours. The firm's performance was underpinned by its strength in the latter region, along with the UK, Germany, Russia/CIS and Eastern Europe, just four of 16 markets that contributed to overall regional growth of 8.5%. 

In addition to H+K, a further 19 firms were selected for Consultancy of the Year honours, following unrivalled independent analysis of the region's best firms, across geographic categories and in specific disciplines. 

Of note, there were a number of first time winners, including 90Ten (Healthcare), CCGroup (Technology), EM (Financial), Hopscotch Groupe (France), Kurio (Digital), Lansons (Corporate), Tin Man (Creative) and United Partners (CEE).
