Two Golds were presented to
Richards Rose for Mitsubishi Motors campaign "Moving from #6 to #3: How
Mitsubishi is having the time of its life".
Two Golds were also presented to Ogilvy Australia for Kimberly Clark Australia campaign "Let's Move On".
One Gold went to Host/Havas for Defence Force Recruitment campaign
"How transforming the Defence Force's approach to recruitment delivered
record returns", which also went on to claim the coveted Grand Effie.
The
judges commented that the Host/Havas campaign stepped beyond the
traditional model and positioned the Australian Defence Force as a 21st
Century employer through an "exceptionally impressive and well told
story".
"It's so hard to change a person's mindset, let alone
get tangible behaviour or action, such as enlisting, and yet this
campaign has done that," the judges said.
The ceremony, which
took place at ICC's Parkside Ballroom in Darling Harbour in Sydney on
Thursday night, delivered a further 14 Silver and 14 Bronze awards. This
brings the total number of agencies awarded for outstanding measurable
results to 16 and the number of clients to 21.
Additional Gold winners include:
- TBWA\Sydney for M.J.Bale campaign "Coolest Suit on the Planet";
- The Works for Optus campaign "Bolt, a marathon story: a long term strategy for a world class network;
- The Monkeys for Beam Suntory campaign "How questioning the unquestionable breathed new life into Canadian Club;
- The Monkeys for Meat & Livestock Australia campaign "How bringing people together delivered record profits for Lamb; and
- CHE Proximity for Swann Insurance campaign "Inconvenience Stores - Turning an everyday errand, into another reason to ride".
Commenting
on the Effective Advertiser Award, which was presented to ALDI
Australia, the judges said: "ALDI is a very impressive example of
effectiveness through total alignment of purpose. It's very clear that
the organisation is totally aligned with their marketing department and
that the marketing department is totally aligned with their agency."
Mark
Green, chair of The Communications Council, said that each year, the
quality of the cases raises the bar for creatives and strategic
thinkers, and delivers increasing value to clients' businesses.
Says
Green: "One decade on, the Effies remain one of the most important
dates in our industry's calendar. These awards have one of the most
rigorous judging processes, so even to become an Effie finalist is a
huge achievement. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists."
