DC Group wins Gold at Campaign Agency of Year Awards

• Awarded as Digital Innovation Agency of the Year – South Asia and Rest of South Asia

DC Group marked a significant milestone for Sri Lanka’s creative and digital sector by becoming the first Sri Lankan agency to be awarded Gold for Digital Innovation Agency of the Year South Asia at Campaign Agency of the Year Awards 2025. 

The agency also received Gold for Digital Innovation Agency of the Year Rest of South Asia, placing a homegrown independent firm among the region’s leading innovators in a field traditionally dominated by global networks and larger regional markets.

The recognition, announced in Mumbai, highlights the agency’s rise from its beginnings in 2017, when it operated out of a 100-square-foot room with no legacy clients and no traditional advertising pedigree. Since then, DC Group has evolved into a multi-disciplinary digital organisation, demonstrating the potential of independent agencies emerging from smaller markets and reframing perceptions of Sri Lankan creativity on the regional stage.

“This is more than an award. It’s a milestone for Sri Lankan creativity and digital innovation,” said DC Group Co-Founder and Managing Partner Arjun Jeger. 

“For a homegrown agency to be named South Asia’s best in digital innovation shows the world that Sri Lanka can compete and win, at the highest level.”

Co-Founder and Creative Chairman Prasad Karunarathne noted, “This win belongs to every Sri Lankan who believes in pushing boundaries. Our journey wasn’t built on legacy or inheritance; it was built on culture, creativity and the courage to challenge what an agency can be. Winning two Gold awards on a South Asian stage is proof that independent agencies from Sri Lanka can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest names in the region.”
