- 1. HELLO FROM with over 100 years of advertising history. In 2011, we merged with SMART, one of Australias most successful independent agencies. Creating a completely new Australian agency with a completely new approach to creativity: a smarter, leaner, more innovative McCann. The result is iconic campaigns like Dumb Ways to Die for Metro Trains, to The Federal Governments Impossible Orchestra and even the creation of a new word for Macquarie Dictionaries: phubbing. Earning recognition the world over, from Cannes /LRQVWRWKH(HVWRWKH$G1HZV% 76SLNHV and One Show Agency of The Year. An agency with the spirit and leadership of an independent creative hot-shop, backed by the worlds largest agency network. We think thats something pretty smart.
