Appointed APAC EFFIE awards juror.

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’m excited to be invited again.

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’.

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 stands for a consistent philosophy and rigorous set of practices, built around the demonstrated ability of communications campaigns to achieve marketing goals.

  • 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.

  • Effie encourages the dissemination of learning about best practices in advertising and marketing communications effectiveness.

  • A strong international Effie network strengthens all Effie programs. It enables partners to share with each other, with the goal of strengthening and expanding the brand worldwide.

Campaigns need to successfully combine all disciplines that enter into a successful marketing programme: planning, market research, media creative and account management. They must demonstrate a partnership between agency and client in the creation, management and building of a brand.

The Awards are presented in recognition of the year’s most effective advertising campaigns – campaigns that have delivered superior results by meeting or surpassing the objectives they were designed to achieve.
