  Even though it's my sixth EFFIE Jury, it feels like my first. The Effies continue to be regarded as the most prestigious awards in the Australian, Asia Pacific marketing communications industry and the true test of marketing excellence: 'You can’t beat effectiveness’.

  The Jury for the most effective campaigns in the Asia Pacific region were selected and I was honoured to be asked to become a member.

  The Effies continue to be regarded as the most prestigious awards in the Australian marketing communications industry and the true test of marketing excellence: 'You can’t beat effectiveness’.

  HISTORY

  Introduced by the New York American Marketing Association in 1968, the Effie® Awards have since become recognised by advertisers and agencies as the pre-eminent award in the advertising industry. It is now held in 51 countries around the world with 2 regional programmes as well as a global competition.

  The annual awards are presented to recognise the year’s most effective advertising and marketing communications campaigns – campaigns that have delivered superior results in meeting the objectives they were designed to achieve.

  EFFIE CORE VALUES

  • Effie is first and foremost an effectiveness award, based upon proven results in the market place. Creative execution is seen as part of the Effie process and is factored into the judgement for an Effie award.
