For the Gunn Report, the lists of winners of the most important national and international creative competitions are evaluated and summarized. This results in an annual ranking of the world's best advertising agencies. The important creative ranking has been published every November since 1999 and is an important evaluation tool for both advertisers and companies around the world. Although Switzerland is one of the 20 largest advertising markets in the world in terms of volume, it is not really represented in the Gunn Report.
