The only way to announce your media agency was named ADWEEK's Breakthrough Media Agency of the Year was to use media — and we think we nailed it! We couldn’t be prouder of Scale by Zambezi’s achievement, so we took that excitement to the streets (and a few iconic cityscapes) with some bold billboards to celebrate. From Times Square to Century City to Santa Monica, we made sure the news was impossible to miss. Not pictured: digital taxi tops zipping all over NYC!
