Piyush Pandey, executive chairman and creative director, South Asia, Ogilvy India was an elated man on Tuesday night. For the advertising behemoth he steers was named Agency of The Year for the fourth time in a row.
And if that weren’t enough, came the icing — The Grand Effie — touted as the most popular award in the advertising industry.
In its the 12th year, The Effies 2012 Awards is organised by the Ad Club and enjoys participation from the entire advertising fraternity.

It was adjudged the Agency of the Year last year as well, with a score of 195 points. The agency then won a total of 7 golds, 6 silvers and 6 bronzes.
