4th December 2025 – Dubai, UAE | FP7McCann further cemented its regional leadership, earning 15 wins at this year’s MENA Effie Awards – emerging as the Most Effective Agency Network of the Year (FP7 McCann MENAT) and Most Effective Advertising Agency Office of the Year (FP7 McCann UAE).\

This recognition marks yet another milestone in what has been a landmark year for the agency, following its ranking as #1 Agency in the UAE and Highest Ranked Network Agency in MENA in the Cannes Lions Global Creativity Report 2025.

The agency’s standout accolade of the night was the coveted Grand Prix, awarded to Recipe for Change for Puck by Arla Foods – a purpose-driven campaign that tackled food insecurity in Lebanon by transforming traditional home recipes into a community-first restaurant model that created sustainable income for local families. The work was delivered in collaboration with MCN sister agencies Current Global MENAT and Craft.

Spanning categories from purposeful creativity and food retail to automotive and men’s health, FP7 McCann’s wins reflect the breadth of its cross-market integration and its enduring partnerships with global and regional brands.

With major wins across both the UAE and Egypt, the results underscore FP7McCann’s MENAT-wide capability – a connected network delivering culturally resonant, effective ideas across borders, categories, and enduring client relationships.
