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.
