PHD Costa Rica has secured the top spot in the 2025 WARC Media 100 Rankings, earning the title of the world’s most-awarded media campaign—for the third consecutive year.
The agency’s Welcome to the Group campaign for Nosotras: Women Connecting dominated the rankings after winning dozens of industry accolades in 2024-25, including the Grand Prix at the Festival of Media Global Awards, Festival of Media LATAM Awards, M&M Global Awards, and Festival of Media Cause Campaign Awards.
This marks the third straight victory for PHD Costa Rica, following past wins for Break of Silence (for InLesco) in 2023 and PADvertising (also for Nosotras: Women Connecting) in 2024.
This year’s winning campaign took a bold approach to advocacy. After a ten-month effort failed to pass a bill for free menstrual products in schools, Nosotras: Women Connecting added lawmakers to a WhatsApp group, where girls thanked them in advance for changing the law. Five days later, it did.
Commenting on the success, Alan Vainrub, Central America CEO, PHD, stated: “Being ranked #1 in the WARC Media 100 is the highest recognition we could hope for with Welcome to the Group. It’s a testament to the power of media to drive meaningful change.”
In addition to the campaign of the year, PHD was also recognised as the most-awarded agency in the UK—WARC’s second-largest market.
These wins maintain PHD’s ongoing awards successes. Most recently, it was named Adweek’s 2025 Global Agency of the Year and won Media Network of the Year at Eurobest 2024 and Agency Network of the Year at the 2024 Festival of Media Cause Campaign Awards.
The WARC Media 100 tracks results from media award ceremonies worldwide, establishing a benchmark for excellence and recognising the industry’s top-performing campaigns and companies.
