CONTAGIOUS PIONEER 2025

image

Becoming a Pioneer is proof that an agency didn’t just get lucky with a great client or dream brief — they consistently put the work in.” – Chloe Markowicz, Editor, Contagious

The Contagious Pioneers is an annual global ranking of the 11 best agencies in the world, that have consistently set the standard for creativity, innovation and excellence in marketing.

What makes this list different? You can’t enter it. You don’t pay for it. You earn it — through consistently high-calibre, future-facing work that meets Contagious’ famously rigorous editorial standards.

So Colenso couldn’t be prouder to be named a Contagious Pioneer for the third year in a row. And to rub shoulders with these giants. 🐀

COLENSO + PEDIGREE

Best friend. Loyal companion. Straight-up liar.

To help owners out, we teamed up with PEDIGREE® to create the world’s first Lie Detector for dogs.

‘Cos even if you’ve just fed them, dogs ask for more food. Making it difficult to manage their weight.

Get outta here with those puppy dog eyes.
