There’s a pattern that we’ve observed at the Holmes Report that illustrates why being a Best Agency to Work For carries so much significance. Largely, because there is a direct correlation between the agencies on this list and those that take home top honours as Consultancies of the Year. And that's because firms that take culture seriously tend to attract and retain smart and creative talent who, in turn, produce stellar work that underpins great agencies.

For the second year, the Holmes Report's Best Agencies to Work For research expands to Asia-Pacific, via a comprehensive survey of agency employees at around 25 consultancies throughout the region. The three 2017 Asia-Pacific Best Agencies to Work For Winners will receive their awards at the 2017 Asia-Pacific SABRE Awards evening ceremony in Hong Kong on 14 September. Tickets are available here.
