LONDON-Omnicom-owned Golin was named Agency of the Year for the EMEA region at last night's SABRE Awards ceremony, which took place at the Brewery in London and recognized more than 20 firms from across the region with honors for their strong performance, great work, thought leadership and innovation, and outstanding work environments.

Golin took home top honors after being named one of the UK Agencies of the Year.
