where have all the hotshops gone?

Cannes table

This is Campaign's somewhat parochial table of UK agencies' Cannes awards results, which helpfully omits all those Lions mistakenly awarded to pesky foreign shops.

Not that we're counting but, to be honest, it wasn't a vintage year for W+K London. On the other hand, neither was it a washout. BBH certainly deserved to come top out of UK agencies, and CHI had a strong showing courtesy of their print work for News International, but where are the UK's "creative hotshops"?

This is supposed to be the vibrant market that spawns hot young agencies that inspire the rest of the world with their fresh and brilliant work. So, where are they on this list?
