Digibrush also ranks No. 24 among the world’s most effective independent agency offices
Sri Lankan-grown independent agency Digibrush Productions has been ranked among Asia-Pacific’s Top 5 Most Effective Independent Agency Offices in the 2025 Effie Index, placing Sri Lanka alongside some of the region’s leading advertising markets on one of the global industry’s foremost measures of marketing effectiveness.
Digibrush ranked No. 5 in Asia-Pacific, alongside independent agencies from India, Pakistan and New Zealand. The Colombo-based agency also secured No. 24 globally, placing it among the world’s Top 25 independent agency offices.
The Effie Index is an annual global ranking of marketing effectiveness, built on results from the Effie Awards, which have recognised effective marketing since 1968. Now in its 15th year, the Index analyses finalist and winner data from more than 50 Effie competitions, with the wider Effie network spanning 130 markets worldwide. The 2025 Index was compiled from more than 5,700 Effie winners and finalists.
Digibrush Co-Founders Hisham Zulfiqar and Fazaaal Naufer said: “Being ranked among the Top 5 independent agency offices in Asia-Pacific is a proud moment for all of us, but what makes it particularly meaningful is doing so as an agency born and built in Sri Lanka. We have always believed that where you come from should never limit the standard of work you can create. To now see Digibrush alongside some of the most effective agencies from across the region, and among the Top 25 independents globally, reinforces that belief.”
Firmly rooted in Sri Lanka, Digibrush has evolved into a full-service digital and creative agency with deep expertise in performance marketing, serving regional and global brands across Sri Lanka, Singapore, the UK, the Netherlands, the UAE and Canada. Its international portfolio includes work with multinational companies such as General Mills, across iconic brands including Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley and Old El Paso.
The recognition further strengthens Digibrush’s evolution from a homegrown digital agency into an independent agency competing across markets, demonstrating that Sri Lankan ideas, talent and effectiveness can earn their place alongside the best in the world.
