“Since the Effie Effectiveness Index was launched four years ago, the bar has been raised for companies with the most effective marketing communications strategies, ideas and results,” said Neal Davies, President and CEO of Effie Worldwide. “Marketers who have held the top slot or climbed another level in the Global Effie Index, continue to show the worldwide business community how to create ideas that work.”
Every brand and company ranked in the Effie Index has undergone rigorous evaluations of their case studies and work by expert industry judges to prove that their marketing achieved compelling results.
