The Agency Of The Year Awards 2026 judges local agencies in the marketing and advertising industry across 34 categories.
On the night of 24 July, TSL Media Group won Best Agency-Client Partnership, with its long-term client Scoot.
The award recognises “outstanding collaboration and cooperation” between an agency and its clients that has led to exceptional results.
A particular highlight is the #ScootHomecoming National Day campaign, centred around connecting Singaporeans living abroad.

The Scoot and TSL team crowdsourced Singaporeans’ favourite dishes and National Day traditions. They cooked for 50 Singaporeans in Tokyo, giving them a taste of home, and sang National Day tunes in a mass karaoke.
The campaign also won Gold for Best Integrated Social Media Campaign and Bronze for Best Social Media Campaign: YouTube at the Hashtag Asia Awards 2025.
