Fernando Machado, Global CMO of Burger King will chair the judging panel for the Effective Use of Brand Purpose category in the 2019 WARC Awards, a global search for next-generation marketing effectiveness.
The Effective Use of Brand Purpose category will reward marketing initiatives that have successfully embraced a brand purpose and achieved commercial success as well as a benefit for a wider community.
Entry is free and papers submitted as effectiveness case studies are welcomed from any market or discipline. More information and details about how to enter can be found on the WARC Awards site.
Commenting on the awards, Machado said, “having a purpose that goes beyond the products and services a brand offers can be good for business and for society in general. Brands can play a bigger role today than ever before. And people are starting to expect and reward brands that act that way”.
Machado will be joined by:
In addition to the Grand Prix, which will win $7,000, judges will also grant three $1,000 Special Awards: the Evaluation Award, for a brand purpose strategy that has gone the extra mile in measuring both commercial and societal impact; the Employee Engagement Award, rewarding a brand purpose-led strategy that is consistent both inside and outside an organisation; and the Smart Spender Award, for a purpose-led strategy that was effective on a budget of $500K or less.
The closing date for entries is 19 February 2019.
