The One Show 2024 Global Creative Rankings methodology

Rankings in each category are calculated by the company that garners the most points overall for winning entries based on One Show Pencils, Merits and Special Awards, allocated as follows: Gold Pencil 45 points, Silver 21, Bronze 9, Merit 3, Fusion Pencil 90, CMO Pencil 90, SDG Pencil 90, Green Pencil 90, Penta Pencil 150, Best of Discipline 90, Best of Non-Profit 90, and Best of Show 135. 

In order to receive points for the agency rankings, an agency must be credited under the Primary Agency listing on the specific award win, and must be credited under one of these credit types: Agency, Digital Agency, Media Agency, or PR/Marketing Agency. When multiple agencies meet the above requirements on the same award win, the points for that win are divided equally among those agencies.

If the same entry wins multiple awards within a discipline or in multiple disciplines, the points for all awards and wins are counted towards the rankings.

All One Show 2024 Gold, Silver, Bronze Pencil and Merit winners were announced last week during Creative Week in New York.  A total of 20,038 pieces from 65 countries were entered in The One Show 2024.  Agencies, studios, brands, production companies and designers in 50 countries were awarded 184 Gold Pencils, 206 Silver, 280 Bronze, and 1,120 Merits.
