New York Festivals Advertising Awards Announces Milestone Win; Names Klick Health ‘Agency of the Year’

Accolade marks first time the consumer advertising show gives top prize to a health agency; Klick also takes home 17 Towers, including Grand Award in Film Craft

Klick Health was named ‘Agency of the Year’ by New York Festivals Advertising Awards (NYFA) yesterday, representing a landmark win for the independent health agency and signaling a turning point in consumer advertising, as health increasingly becomes more mainstream. The news marks the third Agency of the Year distinction for Klick in under a month after being named Clio Health’s Independent Agency of the Year for the third consecutive year earlier this week, and also making history as the first health agency to be named an Agency of the Year by The One Show.

Scott Rose, New York Festivals Advertising Awards President said, “We’re thrilled to celebrate Klick Health’s extraordinary success in the 2025 NYFA. This marks the first time a health agency has earned the prestigious title of Agency of the Year, a milestone that speaks to the power of Klick’s innovative and purpose-driven creativity. Among their many award-winning campaigns, the Grand Award-winning ‘47’ stands out as a powerful testament to inclusion, resilience, and the transformative impact of storytelling.”

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized among the world’s top agencies by the NYFA,” said Klick Health Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “As the first health-focused agency to be named Agency of the Year, it’s inspiring to see creativity in health continue to take its place on the global stage and a testament to the quality of work being done throughout the healthcare industry.”

With entries from six continents judged by an international jury of more than 350 members, the NYFA jury pushed forward work that puts brands in the spotlight and resonates with today’s consumers. Among the top accolades, Klick received the Grand Award in Film Craft, eight Gold Towers, four Silver Towers, and four Bronze Towers for its ‘47,’ ‘American Cancer Story,’ and ‘Voice 2 Diabetes’ campaigns.
