Advertising Innovation: Ads24 in South Africa – Lil-lets Talk
Ads24 co-created a campaign with the number one tampon brand, Lil-lets, in partnership with two daily newspapers, City Press and Daily Sun. The Lil-lets Talk campaign enabled a platform where women could more openly discuss life-challenging topics, such as going through menopause. The campaign leveraged the strengths of print, online and social media platforms, also driving multi-brand reach.
Products for Young Readers: Helsingin Sanomat – Lasten uutiset

The front cover was dedicated to people who work on the “front lines” during Covid: A picture mosaic of more than 3,000 photos taken by Toronto Star photographers. The source photo (outline) for the mosaic is a portrait of Toronto teacher Meredith Black wearing a Canadian flag-designed medical mask.
Sustainability Innovation: VK media Umeå Sweden – Saving Electricity
