Third Shift Media wins Gold at Dragons of Asia

Seven years since its inception, Third Shift Media continues to redefine what it means to be a media agency in today’s marketing communications landscape. 

The independent Sri Lankan agency has once again been recognised on the international stage, winning a Gold Dragon at the Dragons of Asia Awards 2025, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on October 10, a prestigious regional platform celebrating the most innovative and effective marketing communications campaigns across Asia, marking yet another proud moment for Sri Lankan creativity on the global stage.

This achievement marks another milestone in Third Shift’s journey from a bold local start-up to a regional force that is reshaping how media agencies operate. Founded in 2017, the agency has consistently challenged convention by building a new model for collaboration - synergising with fellow agency partners and even extending beyond the industry through partnerships with academia.

Winning Gold alongside leading creative, digital and other agencies reaffirms Third Shift’s vision of being a media agency that goes beyond the conventional role – creating ideas and media solutions capable of standing among the best in Asia.

Third Shift extends its gratitude to Lipton Teas and Infusions, the client behind the winning campaign and to MTV/MBC Channels (Pvt.) Ltd, the campaign’s media partner. The agency also acknowledges the unwavering support of the MTM Group and Shift Group, whose partnership and strength have been instrumental throughout this journey.
