Awards chairman, Anthony Wong said: “At the Effies, we recognise in particular great ideas that work in tomorrow’s world. Work that has achieved exceptional results by having effective media strategies that augment the brilliant ideas. Work that leads the transformation of business and communication. Work that shines the light on the next chapter of how content and technology collide to make brands matter more than ever. With the bar raised higher year on year, it is a lot more competitive and harder to bring home an Effie now than before. The winners tonight showcase the best work to represent the whole of Asia Pacific.”

The awards are organised by the Confederation of Asian Advertising Agency Associations (CAAAA) and Tenasia Group and aim to recognise “ideas that work”.
