The Advertising Club, today, announced the finalists for the Effie Awards 2015, to be held on Wednesday, 27th January, 2016.Over 100 brands that ran campaigns in India from 1st October, 2014 to 30th September, 2015 (12 months) were eligible for entry and only a select few will be vying for the top honors across 26 award categories, this Wednesday.
The Advertising Club had, in preparation of this year’s Effies, drawn up a slew of changes to revamp the awards. In keeping with the convenience of the digital world we live in, for the first time, entries could be submitted online. As an acknowledgement to the increasing importance of the startup ecosystem in our country, a new category called New Product or Service - Best Campaign for a Start-up, had been introduced for the Effies 2015. The erstwhile Digital Campaign category was rechristened to the Integrated Marketing Category, underscoring the emergence of the digital medium as an inclusive rather than additional channel of marketing in today’s day and age.
The detailed list of finalists for each category is as follows:
