Mercado Libre used proprietary sales and delivery data to map the most popular fashion trends in five Latin American capitals and grew its social following by 300%.

2023 Judges

A judging panel of industry experts, chaired by Beatrice Boue, Global Head of Media, De Beers, will be reading the entries.

Success lies in collecting the right data to understand customers better and extract meaningful and actionable insights. I'm hoping to see powerful examples where data is used creatively to make brand experiences even better.
