BRAVES Awards Winners Announced

After an outstanding evening of celebrations and rewards of all things video at the first ever BRAVES Awards, the much deserved winners are now safe in the knowledge they will remain the heroes of video advertising for another year to come.

 

The launch of the brand video awards – The BRAVES Awards – took place at the Vue Cinema in Leicester Square in London on 11 July. 

 

“The night was dedicated to recognising the very best branded content from all over the globe, setting the standard in video excellence. The shortlist proved that innovative and creative thinking in video advertising and branded content is alive and well in all the corners of the world.  With this launch year attracting over 160 entries and taking place on the big screen in front of an audience of over 250, it has been a true testament to the importance brand video has on the advertising industry.” Charlie Crowe, CEO, C Squared

 

The BRAVES had a judging panel of over 40 judges included personalities from the likes of Facebook, Unilever, Diageo, Heineken, Adidas and many more, each of which had a tough job getting the entries down to the final award winning campaigns.  To see the full list of judges, visit http://thebraveawards.com/judges/.
