Introduced in 1968, Effie “Ideas that Work” Awards have become the global benchmark for creative effectiveness..
During the judging process, Effie took into consideration not only the successful combination of all disciplines of a marketing program; planning, media, creative, market research, but also its management thought process and continuous improving culture.
