What marketing trend(s) are you excited about right now?
With average viewership hovering around 100 million, it’s no mystery why advertisers invest in securing buzzworthy Big Game media buys. But do those millions of viewers translate into effective marketing? In celebration of this weekend’s game, we’re diving into five recent Effie Award-winning Super Bowl campaigns that scored a marketing effectiveness touchdown.
Insights & Inspiration
This year's Global Effie Celebration began with a thought-provoking conversation about the future of communication and the new dimensions of connection.
The expert panel, moderated by Catharine Duane, Global Marketing Manager of Facebook IQ at Meta, features Dave Meeker, Head of Design & Innovation, Americas and Global Chief Innovation Officer at dentsu Creative and Adam Simon, US Head of Innovation at IPG's UM.
The Ideas That Work Summit distilled the learnings and inspiration behind the 2021
Effie UK-winning entries, tackled the metrics successful entrepreneurs and leaders keep their eyes on, and explored one of the UK industry's most unconscious biases: class.
Discussions, keynotes and debates were all delivered in 30-minute sessions and each one is available to view on demand. But, if you want our top pick of learnings before you dive in, here are our top 10 takeaways:

Confronting the industry's most unconscious bias. In the UK, 'the working class' is an audience that is stereotyped and ignored by the marketing, communications and research community. From inclusion in the industry to thoughtful targeting, representation and messaging in the marketing we make – what can we learn from those who are already producing work that moves us forward, not back?
Watch back the live discussion and Q&A from expert thinkers and doers including Steven Lacey, Founder of The Outsiders, Asad Dhunna, Founder & CEO of The Unmistakables, Vicki Maguire, Chief Creative Officer at Havas London, Andy Nairn, Founding Partner of Lucky Generals, and moderated by Nicola Kemp, Editorial Director at Creative Brief.
Events
Effectiveness is often seen in the rear-view mirror as agencies craft strategy papers or award entries to tell a compelling story. But for business, it's an iterative journey as you navigate your way to your next goal.
This session is about effectiveness in the real world. In just 30 minutes, you'll hear from industry leaders, each leading a very different company, about the metrics that matter to them and the strategies that underpin them.

In the new attention economy, content consumption is up, but ad avoidance has risen too. Consumers have more content choices that form their touchpoints with brands; however brand-driving actions are less efficient than ever. How can brands leverage different kinds of creative content alongside meaningful consumer data to break through?
Beth Lester Sidhu, Chief Brand & Communications Officer at Stagwell, leads a must-watch conversation with Zoë Fairbourn, Head of Brand Partnerships at Hello Sunshine, Jae Goodman, Founder & CEO at Observatory, and Alanna Strauss, Head of Creative - Brand Partnerships at Netflix, to answer the question. The group discusses how different techniques can create more effective marketing solutions and, in particular, how entertainment and content divisions can be an effective solution for brand engagement.
Events
Lots of data exists that shows that diversity in advertising is important. Beyond it simply being the right thing to do, audiences increasingly say they will reward brands who tackle inequality and offer a more authentic view of the world. But there has always been an accompanying sense that this might be more talk than action, that consumers say one thing but don’t really vote that way with their hearts, minds and wallets.
New analysis of Effie U.S. entrants demonstrates a simple fact: campaigns that feature diverse characters are more likely to be judged as effective.
Events
We know that business and brands have become the most trusted institutions of our time. Consumers look to brands to solve some of society’s most complex issues. Climate Change. Xenophobia.

Insights from Mediabrands
Events
There is a lot of talk in marketing about being in a post-advertising age, and yet we are witnessing the emergence of global players like Google and Facebook that are advertising platforms at their core. This panel will show that while individual advertising mediums are changing (TV is becoming digitized, OOH is merging with mobile), and advertising is becoming more cross-screen and cross-journey, the power of advertising remains strong and the ingredients for great advertising remain true.
The panel, moderated by Daryl Lee, Global CEO at IPG Mediabrands, will illustrate how our definitions of advertising and effectiveness need to be dynamic to keep up with the changing behaviors of our audiences, and how the Effie 4-step method can be used as a model for all marketers as a way to create and evaluate effective advertising.

It’s a challenge as old as the advertising industry. Brave work that separates from the pack is inherently viewed as risky. A level of risk-aversion can lead to safe creative which fits category conventions.
New analysis of Effie U.S. entrants proves that if you follow category conventions, you are much less likely to win an Effie. However, that’s not to say that all you have to do is break conventions and you will be effective.

In 2020, responding to changing circumstances took all our energy, resilience and imagination. It seemed impossible to think long-term. But recent months have been as transformational as they are challenging. With the global pandemic, as well as extraordinary political and social pressure, behaviours changed, perspectives broadened, and new strategies emerged.

It’s interesting – ‘sales’ sometimes remains a dirty word – the bridesmaid to the strategic goals of brand building, emotional connection and cultural relevance. Often, both award criteria and marketing theory posit a choice or trade-off between brand love and transactional efficacy – of course both are essential for sustained brand success. But, in our COVID-19 defined times, a laser focus on transactional success has never been more important as scrutiny on investment, effectiveness and return continue to intensify. As commerce and shopper continue to evolve, it’s worth considering how we can have a better, clearer discussion about performance, value and impact.

I’ve spent my formative years in mature businesses like Unilever, Birdseye and the AA. And I was lucky enough to learn my effectiveness trade at the knee of the masters: Godfathers Binet and Field and the fearsome intellect of the Ehrenberg-Bass institute, with my hand held on each side by the IPA, WARC, and practically every other industry body keen to furnish me with insight.

Lotto 6/49 is Canada’s most popular national lottery game and has been offering Canadians a chance to win daily since 1982. In Quebec, over 70% of Lotto 6/49 tickets were being sold to the over 50 crowd. Millennials were less enthusiastic, associating the lottery more with its poor odds of winning than the promise of riches. So
Loto-Québec, which runs Lotto 6/49 in the province, saw an opportunity to inspire this segment to play.
In 2015, Loto-Québec and agency partner
Sid Lee launched an integrated campaign
“You Should Play 6/49” that highlighted everyday moments of luck (for instance, catching every green traffic light) as evidence that anyone is lucky enough to win, and expanded on the ubiquitous phrase, “You should play the lottery,” to turn these moments into purchase occasions.
