APAC Effie Awards 2016 finalists unveiled

SINGAPORE - The finalists for the Asia Pacific Effie Awards have been announced, with 136 entries contending for metals, this year.

APAC Effie Awards 2016 finalists unveiled

The Effie Awards honour the region’s most outstanding marketing communication works that have proven results in meeting strategic objectives.

Covering 35 single-market and multi-market categories, the finalists include agencies from 15 countries, led by India.

The finalists have been through two rounds of judging by a jury comprising 130 senior-level advertising and marketing professionals from agencies and clients across the region.

Leading the jury are the 2016 awards chairman, Cheuk Chiang and five heads of jury: Anthony Wong of Ogilvy & Mather Group, Nagesh Alai of FCB, Richard Murphy of McDonalds Corporation, Sandeep Seth of P&G and Michelle Guthrie, who has since left Google Asia Pacific.

Chiang extended congratulations to all the finalists, adding that it was inspiring to to see such a great calibre of entries, “achieving compelling results and rooted in strategic innovation.”

"This year, the jury has been tougher in our evaluation of the work, so entries which have made it to this stage are indeed campaigns which have demonstrated truly outstanding results and excellence in effectiveness,” he added in a statement issued.

Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala, which will be held at Intercontinental Singapore, Grand Ballroom on 21 April.
