Motion Sickness Wins Big in Singapore

Motion Sickness won multiple accolades at Campaign’s 'Agency of the Year' awards last night in Singapore, with founder and ECD Sam Stuchbury taking home two golds for both AU/NZ creative leader and agency head titles. Motion Sickness was awarded gold for AU/NZ boutique agency of the year, and silver for both AU/NZ independent and NZ creative agency of the year.

Announced last night at the Pan Pacific Orchard, the results mark a defining moment in what has been a defining year for the independent.

Alex McManus, partner and GM at Motion Sickness, said, “This particular show is close to my heart. It puts a real spotlight on the powerful creativity that comes from our part of the world, and reinforces what we already know about New Zealand and Australia competing on the global stage. It’s also the only award entries I’m tasked with writing each year, so there’s that too.”

This recognition comes off the back of a remarkable 12 months for Motion Sickness, including six pieces of metal at Cannes (two Grand Prix), five golds at the Aotearoa Effies including the Grand Effie, ONE Asia agency of the year, and LIA Regional independent of the year for ANZ -- alongside a run of major new-business wins and continued growth across multiple markets.

Alex said, “We don’t take these accolades lightly -- and of course there’s such a talented group of ambitious team members and incredible clients behind the work that deserve all the credit. It’s the perfect way to cap off what’s been an incredible year.”
