Dentsu recognised with three wins at the Festival of Media Global Awards 2026

dentsu Australia has been recognised on the global stage at the Festival of Media Global Awards 2026, securing one Gold and two Bronze awards for work delivered in partnership with Medibank, Colenso BBDO and MYOB.

Among the agency's standout achievements was highly acclaimed Medibank Family Roast, which earned joint Gold in Best Comms Strategy and joint Bronze in Best Response Campaign alongside creative partner Colenso BBDO.

The Medibank campaign tackled one of Australia's most pressing health challenges by encouraging conversations around family health history, via insightful content-led partnerships and tactical media planning, to drive meaningful engagement and behaviour change.

dentsu Australia was also awarded Bronze in the Best Launch or Relaunch Campaign category for SOLO by MYOB – Still Rolling, a campaign that successfully reintroduced the iconic brand to a new generation of Australian small business owners.

The Festival of Media Global Awards celebrates the world's most effective and innovative media campaigns, recognising work that delivers exceptional strategic thinking, creativity and business results.

Nick Kavanagh Chief Strategy Officer, Media, dentsu Australia, said:

"These three awards are a testament to the strength of our client partnerships and the incredible talent across our teams. To be recognised globally for work that combines strategic thinking, creativity and measurable impact is something we're immensely proud of.

"Whether it is encouraging Aussies to have important conversations about their health or supporting small business owners through a relaunch of an iconic brand, these campaigns demonstrate the power of media to create meaningful connections and deliver real outcomes."

The recognition reinforces dentsu Australia's commitment to delivering innovative, integrated solutions that drive growth for clients that create lasting audience impact.
