Mudra Max’s run in 2011 is reflective of the Mudra Group’s performance in the creative side of business. While they do share some key clients, the media arm of the business has also managed to carve a name for itself with significant account wins through the year as well as won recognition across award platforms around the world.

The jury also feels that the agency is enjoying the benefit of accumulated reputation this year from last year’s fine run. Moreover, with Omnicom coming into the picture, it will have to be seen how the new network player performs going forward.
