Sri Lanka’s Digibrush Ranks Among Asia-Pacific’s Top 5 Most Effective Independent Agency Offices

Digibrush also ranks No. 24 among the world’s most effective independent agency offices

Sri Lankan-grown independent agency Digibrush Productions has achieved a historic milestone on the global stage, ranking No. 5 among Asia-Pacific’s Most Effective Independent Agency Offices in the newly released 2025 Effie Index. The Colombo-based firm shared the regional top five alongside leading independent agencies from India, Pakistan, and New Zealand. On a global scale, Digibrush secured the No. 24 position, placing it firmly among the world’s Top 25 independent agency offices.

Now in its 15th year, the Effie Index serves as the premier global benchmark for marketing effectiveness. Built on rigorous performance data from over 50 regional and national Effie Awards competitions across 130 markets worldwide, the 2025 Index evaluated more than 5,700 finalist and winning entries.

The recognition marks a significant point in Digibrush’s evolution from a local digital agency into a competitive international player. Operating from Sri Lanka, the agency currently manages a diverse portfolio across telecommunications, FMCG, apparel, finance, and real estate for both regional and global brands.

“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,” said Hisham Zulfiqar and Fazaal Naufer, Co-Founders of Digibrush, in a joint statement. “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.”

This achievement highlights the growing influence of Sri Lankan creative talent and strategic marketing execution, proving that homegrown agencies can consistently compete with the world’s leading advertising hubs.
