Murray Streets, Managing Director at BC&F Dentsu said, “I
speak on behalf of myself, Luke, Daniel, Paul and the rest of the team
in talking of my immense pride in what everyone in the agency has
achieved. Our focus has always been to do the most effective work we can
for our clients, and it is wonderful to see that vindicated in such a
spectacular way.”

Murray added, “As an independent we have been the Number One Indie
agency in Asia Pacific three times and since joining the Dentsu network
we have gone from strength to strength.”
