Here are the winners and nominees:

S1: BEST OVERALL IC STRATEGY

Shortlisted:

SPECIAL JURY RECOMMENDATION:

“This is for a refreshing campaign with an original concept and excellent execution, especially the tool of rewarding employees for taking action.”

 

S2: BEST CHANGE IC STRATEGY

Winner:

” A powerful campaign that translated values into behaviours and slogans. It was very convincing on a strategic, conceptual and operational level and the evaluation is strong with considerable improvements evidenced.”

Shortlisted:

 

S3: BEST MULTI-DISCIPLINE IC STRATEGY

Joint winners:

“Highly creative ‘transporting’ the importance of the topic not only on a verbal basis but also on an emotional level.  The great audience response suggests that the channel mix helped reach the target audience and the pledge wall is an excellent use of technology to involve people.”

“Strong visual aspects and it was a smart idea to couple the award ceremony to the annual management meeting, thus avoiding extra costs and people clearly responded well to the messages.  “

 

C1: BEST MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPER

Winner:

“An impressive high quality entry with a multimedia and fully responsive site. A magazine of top quality content as well as layout / technical features. The execution is exemplary and fully uses the technological possibilities. “

Shortlisted:

 

C2: BEST DIGITAL PLATFORM

Winner:

“Great example of a launch campaign: good utilisation of senior management, well-targeted follow-up communication, great result for a very accessible and intuitive tool.  An original solution to such a critical issue as continuous updating for all companies in these times of rapid change.”

Shortlisted:

 

C3: BEST AUDIO-VISUAL PRODUCTION

Winner:

“Intriguing and refreshing entry which used a podcast because it was just the best medium for the audience. The style is informal (the clue is in the title – and they achieve it!), and the tone is warm and engaging, with a fast pace. It’s very well done and results are positive.”

Shortlisted:

 

C4: BEST INTERNAL EVENT

Winner:

“This event demonstrated a simplicity of purpose along with effective delivery. The simple theme and language, the strong branding and visuals – we love the inspired idea of the food wagon- are the evidence that it must have been great fun and such a contrast for colleagues to previous Powerpoint presentations during this Quarterly Town Hall meeting.”

Shortlisted:

SPECIAL JURY RECOMMENDATION:

UNITED KINGDOM: Bridgestone & Sequel Group – EMIA Future Ready

“The judges made a special jury recommendation to Bridgestone for the EMIA Future Ready event. The visual power and messaging of the entry are very high. A well thought through plan and media mix that overcame potential technical challenges – foreseen and solved.”
