Three shortlists at the Agency People of the Year Award Hungary

Agency People of the Year (APoTY) was held in Hungary for the first time in 2024, and in 2025 Kastner Budapest joined with three nominations. Agency professionals in 21 categories compete for this internationally prestigious recognition, and in 2025 altogether 100 applications were reviewed by a jury of high-level client-side professionals.

Kastner Budapest nominated the following colleagues in the categories below, and we are thrilled to announce that all Kastner applications have been shortlisted, which already means a great recognition.

Kastner Budapest was nominated in three categories:

Head of Agency of the Year – Andrea Tóth

Agency Producer of the Year – Zsuzsanna Döbrei

Social Impact Team of the Year – Judit Járadi, Korinna Tánczos, and Virág Papp

Nevertheless, the awards ceremony will take place on 10 February 2026 in Budapest, so keep your fingers crossed for all the shortlisted nominees!

The Agency People of the Year was born under the umbrella of the internationally recognised Campaign (UK) magazine. The story goes back to the Campaign Agency of the Year competition, which is well known internationally. For many years, this platform, created by a popular magazine representing the marketing, advertising and media communities around the world, has rewarded the best agencies in the creative industry.

In 2024, Hungary joined this prestigious community, but taking the basics a step further, Agency People of the Year will reward the professionals who create value in agencies on a daily basis. This not only sends an important message to the domestic professional community, but also provides an opportunity for the winners to gain international recognition. On this basis, the categories and judging criteria of the competition have been developed in line with international standards.
