Battery Honored With Campaign of the Year: Gold at the Ad Age Small Agency Awards

On Thursday, July 18, the independent advertising agency Battery took home top honors with Gold for ‘Integrated Campaign of the Year’ for their Netflix is a Joke campaign at the Ad Age Small Agency Awards. The Ad Age Small Agency Awards are the industry’s top honor for independent shops with 150 or fewer employees that demonstrate outsized impact for clients and innovation within their own businesses.

This is the third time that the Ad Age Small Agency Awards has recognized Battery. In 2015, they were honored with Silver for Small Agency of the Year 1-10 employees. Then in 2016, their campaign for Batman Arkham Knight won Silver for "Integrated Campaign of the Year."

This award comes on the heels of significant momentum for Battery this past year having been recognized as Boutique Agency of the Year by ThinkLA, a top 20 Fastest Growing Private Company by the Los Angeles Business Journal and recently honored by the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the D&AD Association, PromaxGames and The One Show adding to a long list of industry accomplishments for this independent agency founded in 2013.

“It’s absolutely wonderful that Ad Age has this award as independent agencies are becoming more and more important in our turbulent industry landscape. To be honored 3 times by Ad Age in our short 5-year history as an agency is immensely gratifying,” said Anson Sowby, CEO, and co-founder of Battery.

“Humbled and honored by this award. Small is the new big and we couldn’t be happier to be in such great company,” said Philip Khosid, CCO, and co-founder of Battery.

The prestigious award was presented during the Ad Age Small Agency Awards, honoring the best and brightest from the region.
