Effie Awards Ireland 2024 - Effective Entry Guidance
Following our Launch in February and our Case-Writing Clinics in March, we are thrilled to now be open for entries. Entries for 2024 opened from 3 April 2024 with a variety of deadlines and fees applicable. The final deadline to send in entries is 25 June 2024. All the information required including the 2024 Effie Awards Ireland Entry Kit is now available on effie.org/Ireland.
Founded over 50 years ago, Effie is a global symbol of achievement within the industry. Effie Worldwide stands for effectiveness in marketing, spotlighting ideas that work and encouraging thoughtful dialogue about the drivers of marketing effectiveness. It's mission is to lead, inspire and champion marketing effectiveness globally.
With this goal in mind, we were excited to host a series of individual one-hour workshops for agencies and clients to examine and workshop their case studies. We hope, for those that were able to attend, this session helped to make your overall story really strong, crisp, clear, and inspiring. For those that didn't get to sign up for a session, you can download some key advice here>>
Other Top Tips from Last Year's Jury:
BE CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPELLING & HONEST - Judges evaluate 5-6 cases in a session – shorter, well-written entries stand out.
CONTEXT IS KEY - Judges typically do not work in your category & may not know your brand. Provide judges with the context to understand the degree of difficulty for your challenge & the significance of your results. Limit industry jargon & define all terms.
SPEAK TO THE ENTRY CATEGORY - Judges evaluate work on effectiveness in the context of the entered category. Be sure your stated goal & results align.
TELL A STORY - Write your entry with your audience, Effie Judges, in mind. Judges are looking for an engaging, well-written story that links each section of the form together. Judges will be evaluating your work with a critical eye – address questions you suspect they will have.
REVIEW - Ask colleagues who do not work on the brand to review the entry. Ask what questions they have – what was unclear? Where did the case fall flat? Ask a strong proofreader to review the entry.

Effie Awards Ireland 2024 Launch Event
IAPI and their sponsors An Post Commerce, ESB, and RTÉ Media Sales this week hosted the launch of Effie Awards Ireland 2024 in the RDS on Thursday 29th February.
The assembled attendees heard from Tom Kinsella, Managing Director, Homes at AIB Group and Effie Awards Ireland Jury Chair on the reasons why taking part in Effies is so imperative for Irish marketers:
“Effie Worldwide stands for effectiveness in marketing, spotlighting ideas that work and encouraging thoughtful dialogue about the drivers of marketing effectiveness.
Why is it good for Irish brands? It’s the only Internationally recognised awards programme in the Irish market, providing us with a standardised global benchmark for marketing effectiveness and a valuable opportunity for Irish brands and agencies to pitch themselves against their international peers in Global & European Best of the Best awards.
The focus on Marketing Effectiveness must be consistent and omnipresent in marketing departments and agencies in order to build brands and contribute to the growth of the Irish economy.”
Joining from The Netherlands, the launch event featured a keynote from Hans Middlehoek, Owner of The USP Company and Jury Chair for Effie Netherlands since 2016. Hans has a wealth of experience writing winning Effie case studies, plus judging at every possible level, and has read more Effie case studies than he wants to disclose. During his presentation Hans spoke about what they have learned in the Netherlands about effective marketing by analysing Effie cases from the past 20 years.
Following Hans’ session, a panel of senior marketers and agency speakers shared their opinions on how to build an effective case and collaborate across brand and agency to achieve a winning result. This featured Margaret Gilsenan, Chief Strategy Officer, Boys + Girls, Andy Pierce, Group Strategy Director, Core, Julie Gill, Commercial Marketing Director, An Post and Catrióna Campbell, Managing Partner, The Public House.
During the launch event, those contemplating entering this year were advised to partake in the free Effie Case-Writing Clinics that IAPI will be providing next month.
Katherine Ryan, Programme Director, IAPI added “Hans Middlehoek will be returning to Dublin for two days – 27/28th March – to provide agencies with one-hour intensive sessions to workshop one case entry. There will be some prep work required to get the most out of this session. Only ONE case study can be examined in your timeslot but the learnings from that one case-study will be applicable across other brands/clients. We hope this session will help make your overall story really strong, crisp, clear, and inspiring.”
