OHI Leo Burnett, Oman’s leading advertising and communications agency, announced its remarkable success at the Transform MEA 2023 Brand Awards where it secured a total of six prestigious accolades for its outstanding achievements in branding across various disciplines.

The agency’s exceptional work was recognised with one gold, one silver, three bronze, and one highly commended trophy, underscoring its position as a true industry leader in Oman and the Middle East and Africa region, a press release said.

Securing six awards, including the gold for our exceptional work with Watania Takaful, demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding branding solutions to our clients.

Being chosen over Dubai-based agencies demonstrates the trust and confidence our clients place in our expertise.”
