WARC Awards for Effectiveness: Sustained Growth
Sustained Growth
For campaigns that have invested in building a brand over time (12 months or more). The judges will look for long-term creative commitments in both budget and campaign duration, as well as compelling evidence that brand investments have made a demonstrable impact on the business.
2022 Judges
A judging panel of industry experts, chaired by Suresh Balaji, Chief Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific, HSBC, will be announced in the coming weeks.
Beyond long-term commitments to brand building, what we will be looking for in this WARC Awards for Effectiveness category is sustainable impact on the entire ecosystem that a brand operates in. It's important to reward brands that help raise the tide so all boats rise, delivering growth for businesses, the people who rely on them, and the planet.
