The agency’s gold APPIE-winning work included the ‘Light up a village’ campaign for Western Union, where power-less villages were given light for the first time, as well as ‘Welcome back Maggi’ for Maggi and an idea to promote hygiene for Dettol.
The second most awarded agency was BBH, which won two golds, one for ‘Worst case scenario’ for Vaseline, the other ‘Virtual hookups’ for NTUC Income, and two silvers. Both the Indian and Singapore offices were among the medals in a competition that diminishes the opportunity for scam since agencies must prove their work worked in front of a live panel of client judges.
McCann’s Melbourne office rounded off a stellar year at the APPIES for the IPG network, claiming gold with its ‘Emotional trailer’ idea for the Melbourne International Film Festival.
MTV India was the sole media owner winner, claiming a silver with its ‘Dunk that junk’ idea, while data and CRM agency Tasseologic won a gold for its use of predictive technology to boost sales for McDonald’s delivery service.
India was by a wide margin the most awarded country, winning three golds and five silvers, followed by Singapore, with three golds and a silver, then Malaysia, with three silvers.
Malaysia’s winners included Maxis ‘Safe Mode’ by Ensemble, The ‘Big Mac Dubsmash Chant Challenge’ for McDonald’s by Leo Burnett and ‘Bringing Back the Migrant Love’ for Digi by Naga DDB.
