And the POPAI 2016 Awards Go To….?

The industry’s ‘best of the best’ were honoured at 2016 POPAI Marketing at Retail Awards, announced last Friday.  Specialty retailers took out several of the Gold and Pinnacle awards, demonstrating that innovation in in retail marketing and experience is being led outside mainstream grocery. Revlon and Nestle led the pack for major FMCG brands.

POPAI’s General Manager Lee McClymont says the record 157 award entries in 2016 epitomised the diversification of retail and shopper marketing.

“The retail environment is changing at breakneck speed, with the integration of new technologies, and the industry is rising to the shopper sophistication challenge,” Ms McClymont says.

“The breadth and scope of the record number of entries this year demonstrate that shopper marketing and experience is being wholeheartedly embraced as both brands and retailers seek to meet the challenges of digital and physical integration, and staying relevant to shoppers in an always-on environment.”

“This year there was a marked difference in shopper experience innovation between specialty retailers and mainstream retail channels. The grocery sector is really lagging in overall shopper experience with its singular focus on price, where speciality retailers are embracing all the opportunities afforded them by advances in technology and customer experience thinking. Grocery has a lot of catch up to do.”

Toyota led the pack, winning the overall best in show award, and the Pinnacle Awards for Best Design and Innovation and Best Permanent Display, for agency Rotor Studios.
