CIRCUS! makes it two Agency of the Year titles in a row
54 Signals2026
What happened
Mauritian agency CIRCUS! was named Agency of the Year at the 2026 African Cristal Festival, repeating its 2025 result. Its four 2026 awards recognised work for Celio, KFC Mauritius, Avipro and Maurilait across film, packaging, logos and publication design.
Who is behind it
CIRCUS! is led by managing director Vincent Montocchio, with executive creative leaders including Fabrice Thevenet and Sharon Gouges. The awards also recognise the agency’s client and production teams.
Why it matters
The result recognises the depth of the agency’s work across categories, rather than one standout advertisement. It offers a compelling example of a creative company based in a small market competing across Africa.
Beyond the story
Each winning project provides an opportunity to see how the same team approaches fashion, food, brand identity and editorial design.
Key figures
- 4 Cristal awards in 2026
