GRAND PRIX

CAMPAIGN OF THE YEAR

This award is chosen by the judges from all of the winning campaigns, who in their opinion stands out above the rest. This category cannot be entered directly.

Award-winning work creates huge additional value for clients

We believe that proper, transparent collaboration is critical to great work. When everyone believes they are creating award-winning work, and the conversations are transparent and purely in the interest of the work, you get more physical and mental support all round. And that makes the work even better.

Winning awards make clients famous and proud of the work they’ve done.

A famous client is a happy client who’s likely to stay with you or even in her or his role for a little bit longer. It also provides a platform for future business to promote your company and talent.

Momentum matters

Win or lose, being shortlisted alone puts big smiles on people's faces. Good work always requires hard work, and entering will let your employees know you recognise and value those efforts.
