Now, the winners of Spikes Asia 2025 have been revealed—and they offer a fascinating glimpse into the future of creativity. From bold storytelling to game-changing campaigns, this year’s honorees have not only raised the bar but redefined it.

Australia and India Lead the Creative Charge

Topping the charts this year, both Australia and India claimed five Grands Prix each, cementing their status as creative powerhouses. These awards spanned across categories like Film, Digital Craft, and Outdoor, and highlighted both countries' ability to blend deep cultural insight with innovative execution.

From purpose-driven branding to viral social media moments, their work exemplifies how storytelling in the Asia Pacific is both rooted in tradition and forward-facing.

Kazakhstan’s Historic Breakthrough

One of the most exciting moments of Spikes Asia 2025 came from Kazakhstan. The country took home its first-ever Grand Prix in the Media Spikes category with GForce’s clever campaign, ‘The National Sport of Kazakhstan’. It also scored another in the Music Spikes with the emotionally resonant ‘Aidakhar’ campaign for Old Spice by NOTO Agency and Procter & Gamble.

These wins signal the emergence of Central Asian creativity on a global stage, bringing fresh perspectives and untapped cultural narratives into the spotlight.

Singapore’s Double Victory with Vaseline

Singapore also had a standout year with Ogilvy’s ‘Transition Body Lotion’ for Vaseline, which captured two Grands Prix in the Glass: Award for Change and Social & Influencer categories. The campaign championed inclusivity and identity in a way that resonated powerfully with both the jury and the public.

It served as a reminder that creative work can not only inspire but also drive change and challenge outdated norms.

A Showcase of APAC’s Cultural Tapestry

Spikes Asia is more than an award show—it’s a celebration of cultural expression and creative risk-taking. From heritage-rich stories to high-tech brilliance, the winning campaigns reflect the complexity and beauty of life in the Asia Pacific.

If you’re planning a trip across the region, consider making time for local art museums, ad festivals, and design districts. They’re not just places of inspiration—they’re where the future of global creativity is being written.
