What’s surprising? These wins came from a much smaller market, with tighter budgets, yet bigger creativity. Ujaya Shakya of Outreach Nepal says it’s proof that emerging markets don’t lack ideas; they lack platforms. And Flame Awards is giving them one. The real story? Local insights, when executed fearlessly, can outshine global giants. Nepal’s teams didn’t just win trophies; they proved that ambition, culture, and innovation can punch way above their weight. This isn’t just about ads. It’s about redefining what’s possible when small teams believe big.
