MullenLowe Lintas, BBDO win big at 2016 APAC Effies

SINGAPORE - MullenLowe Lintas Group emerged as the top agency and BBDO as the winning network at the 2016 APAC Effie Awards last night.

Network of the Year: BBDO Worldwide

MullenLowe Lintas Group snagged eight awards, along with Agency of the Year honours. Colenso BBDO/Proximity claimed second place, with three agencies tied for third place: BBDO India, Barnes Catmur & Friends Dentsu, and Ogilvy & Mather Mumbai.

The awards gala at Intercontinental Hotel Singapore, celebrated Asia Pacific’s most effective marketing campaigns and was attended by some 200 industry professionals. A total of 66 Effies were awarded: 1 Grand Effie, 12 golds, 21 silvers and 32 bronzes.

On the network level, BBDO Worldwide took the lead, with a total haul of 17 awards, including the Grand Effie, followed by Ogilvy & Mather and MullenLowe Group coming in the second and third position respectively.

Cheuk Chiang, chairman of the 2016 APAC Effie Awards expressed his congratulations to all the winners, calling it “a massive acknowledgement.”

“To get here having gone through two rigorous rounds of judging by a stellar team of industry professionals is a significant and incredible achievement and indeed something to be proud of,” he said. “These winning cases represent the best in Asia Pacific and I hope they only serve to inspire the industry further in producing great work that drive real business results.”

Two new special awards were added this year: Brand of the Year and Marketer of the Year, which aim to recognise the joint efforts and close collaboration between clients and agencies to produce successful work. The awards were presented to Ariel Matic and Procter & Gamble, respectively, with their 'Share the load' for Ariel being the 'best of show' for the night, clinching the Grand Effie, a gold and a silver. The special awards were based on points awarded to all winners and finalists.

As with the previous year, India remains the strongest market in the region in terms of effectiveness, contributing the highest number of award winners last night, followed by New Zealand and Australia.

The APAC Effie Awards are organised by the Confederation of Asian Advertising Agency Associations (CAAAA) and Tenasia Group.

Winners and finalists will contribute points toward the ranking on the 2016 Effie Effectiveness Index, the global ranking that identifies and ranks the most effective marketers and brands by analysing finalist and winner data from worldwide Effie competitions.
