driven has been awarded How-Do’s prestigious “Advertising Agency of the Year” award for its performance in 2009 in a glittering ceremony at The Palace Hotel in Manchester.

The agency which is still only 2 years old added 12 new clients to its ranks last year including great brands like Subway, Sunkist and Findus.

Its campaign for Vimto increased the value of the soft drinks brand by over 30% during 2009. All of the agency’s existing clients were retained too which contributed to driven’s turnover, income and staff numbers all doubling.

Chris Lear, Creative Partner at driven said “I’d like to thank all our clients and all our staff. They have made an incredible contribution to this success”.
