While the Best of the Best ranking aggregates points from the Creative, Media and Effectiveness 100 rankings, Warc said it uses a weighting system that inflates the media and effectiveness scores relative to the creative rankings to ensure equal weighting in the Best of the Best ranking. In other words, the point values shown above are not simply the sum of the individual rankings.
An annual survey will be held to ensure that the WARC Rankings remain independent and the competitions tracked reflect the opinion of the industry.
