DDB wins top honours at Hong Kong effies with ‘I’m amazing’ campaign for McDonald’s

DDB’s ‘I’m amazing’ campaign for McDonald’s won the grand prix at the Hong Kong effies last night.

The idea behind the campaign was a McDonald’s restaurant created from the imagination of children.

‘I’m amazing’ was one of two gold effie winners. The other went to Publicis Worldwide’s ‘Tempo Toipa – The Perfect Man’ campaign for SCA Tissue, which is based on the idea of a woman desperate to find her perfect man.

There were a record 79 entries this year in the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong effies, which is an offshoot of the long-running New York festival.

Of the six silver effies awarded, one went to Leo Burnett for 7-Eleven, OMD for Wyeth, Grey for A Drop of Life and Publicis for Society for Community Organisation. Ogilvy won two silvers for Orbis.

There were 11 bronzes awarded.

Desmond Chan, co-chairman of this year’s event, said in a press release: “It has been the tenth year for the HK4As to run the Hong Kong chapter of the Effies, which is benchmarked against the International Effie of New York. A record breaking number of entries of 79 & the outstanding works this year are perfect gifts to our Effie decennial anniversary.”

Lei Wang, the HK Effies’ other co-chairman, added: “Effie provides a great opportunity for our colleagues to learn, expose & be more effective. We are proud of this year’s results. I wish the forthcoming EFFIEs would carry on the success we have augured in the past decade and will continue to make records.”
