THE GLOBAL AWARDS FOR INDEPENDENT AGENCIES 2025

ABOUT

The Indie Awards are the only large scale international awards designed exclusively for independent agencies of all communications disciplines and judged by independent agencies. This is your chance to benchmark your work against the very best in the independent sector.

From their creation, the Indie Awards have aimed to raise the profile of the independent agency sector by recognising talent and rewarding achievement. Prizes are presented for excellence, not agency size. No bias, no politics, just the best work produced by indie's

We are honoured to welcome a guest speaker to our ceremony, Heide Cohu, Founder of The Studio of Art & Commerce.

Heide will address why agency leaders need to be brave in 2025: thinking about how they build the best team around them; how to better understand client needs; and why she thinks independence is now a super power for agencies working with mega brands. Heide's background includes eight years spent working at Red Bull as Global Brand Communications and Media Director leading on projects such as Felix Baumgartner's supersonic free fall from the edge of space in 2012. She also spent three years at Bacardi as Global Brand Communications and Creative Director, before striking out on her own to build her own successful experiential agency.
