All the 2015 AMASA Award winners!
The Advertising and Media Association of South African (AMASA) hosted the prestigious AMASA Awards at Room Five in Rivonia on 22 October 2015. Themed 'Let me entertain you', all the top winners were revealed...
MediaShop took home the coveted Roger Garlick Grand Prix for the second year in a row, for its execution of the Hungry Lion Lucky Bucket Campaign.
Wayne Bishop, head of the AMASA Awards portfolio, described the campaign as well-thought-out and achieving exceptional results as well as exceptional innovation in media and creative strategy, with the judges bowled over by the campaign's results as they also far exceeded the client's expectations on aspects such as sales, coupon redemption and database growth.
Fiona Potgieter, Mobile Strategist from MediaShop said: "Through the Hungry Lion Lucky Bucket Campaign, MediaShop, in partnership with Yonder Media, managed to influence the consumer while his wallet was open! Overall, it was a great campaign, led by a great team, which produced great results!"
PHD Media, Liquorice, Playmakers and Gloo@Ogilvy also performed well, each taking home two AMASA Awards in various categories. With close to 100 entries in this year's AMASA awards, the judging panel had a tough job analysing and selecting this year's candidates.
Wayne Bischoff, AMASA Chairman, described the AMASA Awards as a way for the industry to celebrate 'all-rounder' media campaigns based on sound insights, great ideas, and achieving outstanding, measurable results.
