In partnership with Lursoft, Dienas Bizness has published its 13th annual chart of Latvia’s TOP 500 biggest companies. These are companies which successfully increased their turnover in 2008, thus boosting both their company’s and the nation’s economic growth. In the TOP 500 of Latvia’s biggest companies, DDB occupies an honourable second place in the advertising sector.

“2008 was the most successful year in the history of DDB Latvia. The foundation for our achievements lies in our team of talented, well education, passionate and relentless people who have a special talent for developing influential brands that people love. This year will also go down in the agency’s history as the year in which we won our first award at the world’s most prestigious advertising festival, the Cannes Lions, received awards for two separate advertising campaigns in the final of Latvia’s most effective marketing achievements competition, Password, and the year in which we launched our marketing consultations unit, DDB Consulting,” said DDB Managing Director, Andris Rubins commenting upon our place in the chart. In truth, DDB’s goal is not to be the biggest, but rather the most creative and influential advertising agency in Latvia. However, this accolade also undeniably gives us reason to be proud!
