Digibrush Productions has set a new benchmark at SLIM Digis 2.6, being named the Most Awarded Agency with 41 awards—the highest number secured by any agency in the competition’s history, surpassing its own previous record.
The achievement came at the largest edition of SLIM Digis to date, which received more than 550 entries, was judged by a panel of over 70 industry experts, and featured international participation for the first time.
Digibrush’s impressive haul included 3 Golds, 12 Silvers, 20 Bronzes and 6 Merits, with the awards covering multiple brands and digital marketing disciplines. Its strong performance was particularly evident in the Agile Marketing category, where the agency secured a Gold, Silver and Bronze, earning recognition across all three medal levels within the same category.
For Digibrush, the 41 awards represent more than a successful awards night—they reflect consistency and sustained performance.
Hisham Zulfiqar and Fazaal Naufer, Co-founders of Digibrush, said in a joint statement:
“Consistency isn’t about one big night. It’s about showing up year after year and continuing to raise your own bar. Breaking our own record with 41 awards makes us incredibly proud, but records like these aren’t built by agencies alone.
They are built by brands and the people behind them who trust their agency partners, back their ideas and give them the freedom to push boundaries. We’ve been fortunate to have clients who empower us to do exactly that, and an incredible team that keeps finding ways to turn those opportunities into work that delivers. These 41 awards belong to all of them.”
The latest achievement adds to a strong run of recognition for the Sri Lankan independent agency. Earlier this month, Digibrush was ranked No. 5 among Asia-Pacific’s Most Effective Independent Agency Offices and No. 24 globally in the 2025 Effie Index, placing the agency among the world’s Top 25 independent agency offices.
