Tim Byrne is starting to make his mark on the agency, which went through a period of underachieving uncertainty until he took the helm last year.
Grey was SA's best-performing agency at this year's Clio (gold, silver and bronze) and One Club (silver and three merits) international awards festivals.
There were two new accounts last year for the agency's shopper marketing division: Procter & Gamble and GSK. Combined billings value was about R10m.
