Australian Effies 2011

The Effies recognises ideas that work. In Australia, the Effie Awards are backed by the Communications Council and Australian Association of National Advertisers. The 2011 ceremony was held on 26th August and Warc is pleased to publish the available case studies below, including the Grand Effie winner from Happy Soldiers.

GRAND EFFIE

Tontine
The first pillow with a 'best-before-date'

Happy Soldiers demonstrated the need for Australians to change their pillows by turning the product into the message medium to let consumers know when their bedding is no longer fresh.

This led to an immediate 345% sales uplift: ultimately a short-term blitz that will have a long-term effect.
