2026 Vertex AGENCY OF THE YEAR: Asia, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand

When it comes to bold thinking, beautiful execution, and branding that connects across cultures, Motor Brand Design is in a league of its own.

With studios in Melbourne and Shanghai, this standout agency has become a creative force in the Asia Pacific region, turning heads, setting trends, and racking up points across multiple categories at the 2026 Vertex Awards.

This year, Motor Brand Design once again rises to the top, earning the coveted title of Agency of the Year.

Led by Founder & CEO Warren Spence, Motor’s work isn’t just visually stunning, it’s deeply strategic. Their designs speak to real people in real retail environments. Whether it’s elevating everyday products or building entire brand worlds, Motor brings unmatched consistency, care, and creative punch to everything they touch.

This marks yet another milestone in a long-standing streak of global excellence, and we can’t wait to see where they take it next.
