SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY
DHL Supply Chain We Can Help, Let’s Talk
Stone is a leading provider of Circular IT solutions. We supply the latest technology solutions to organisations of all sizes, across education, public and private sectors.
Directive An Offer You Can’t Refuse
In October 2020 we launched our game-changing 360 recycling app to a fanfare of excitement and high expectations. It was critical that customers and tech partners alike bought into the concept of using the 360 app to recycle their unwanted IT. They can earn recycling points, exchange them for cash rebates, as well as plant trees and help implement sustainability projects in partnership with the National Forest; all of which provides a carbon footprint offset for customers. Some customers have even chosen to take their cash rebate and donate it to their chosen charity – creating a truly win-win situation for everyone.

PEAK ACE & POOL CHLOR SHOP Swimming Against the COVID-19 Tide
FINALISTS
SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY
Adequate & HealthLabs From Zero to Superhero
2020 was tough for many of our clients, which meant we felt very grateful and excited to work with Pool-Chlor-Shop, who actually saw an increase in business last year. Having completed our account restructure quickly, we could capitalise on all the unexpected demand that followed in the summer, thanks to our automated campaign creation approach. With both search trends and work situations changing at a moment’s notice, our team had to be quick on their feet to make the most out of the additional interest in pool supplies. As a result of our strategy and the trust of our client, the team surpassed all goals with flying colours. Even more astonishing: these revenue figures could have been even higher, had pools not been so popular that the entire industry faced a shortage of them spanning the whole of Europe as early as May.

HealthLabs is a Polish dietary supplements manufacturer with the ambition to compete with global premium brands. The challenge was raising product interest on a competitive market and building sales channels in the pandemic world – via the HealthLabs eCommerce website. It was necessary to implement a multi-channel digital strategy with the innovative use of data. The main pillars of the campaign included:

Rizzello Creative & Schroders Beyond Profit
The Think Tank & Asendia e-PAQ Launch
• collaboration with influencers and boosting their content with social ads, far beyond their followers’ base – supported by PPC campaigns in Google and Facebook’s ecosystems; • attributing higher conversion value to first-time buyers, which shifted the bid optimizers towards acquiring an increasing number of new clients; • implementing server-side conversion tracking enhanced with 1st party data, which helped to better identify touchpoints, and allocate budgets to channels where the customer’s journey begins. Within 12-months, Healthlabs reported 182k website transactions, and an incremental ROAS of 359%. After less than a year, HealthLabs has already been searched in Google almost three times as often as Solgar, the previous market leader in premium supplements in Poland.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS We thought this was an outstanding campaign. They had an excellent ROAS and usage of attribution to optimise spend. We thought they also had a smart implementation of the strategy, along with strong results. The whole judging panel agreed there was very little constructive feedback to give to this entrant.

GLOBAL INTEGRATED MARKETING CAMPAIGN
THE THINK TANK & ASENDIA e-PAQ Launch
FINALISTS
SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY
Olís & Pipar & The Engine Shooting for the Moon
A joint venture between La Poste and Swiss Post, Asendia is a global leader in cross-border parcel solutions and mail services. Following extensive research around the introduction of a new product brand and offer with existing and prospective customers, combining focus groups and digital surveys, in January 2021 Asendia asked The Think Tank to take the e-PAQ brand to market. Communicating and promoting the new brand to existing and potential customers across 9 countries during January and March, the goal was primarily to raise brand and product awareness, delivering significant visibility across markets, whilst also informing and engaging existing customers. Lead generation was a secondary goal, with the only campaign conversion point being a ‘Request more information’ form on the e-PAQ landing page.
Performance54 & Ladies First Club
The Think Tank & Asendia e-PAQ Launch
The campaign combined PPC advertising with email nurturing, remarketing and PR to promote the brand to core ecommerce and retail audiences. Although the shift in brand awareness before and after were not measured, the campaign had a significant effect upon sales enquiries and the KIPs were exceeded by some way. The return on investment has already reached almost 4:1 in confirmed new contracts, with the value of proposals submitted and in negotiation increasing this to a potential of 25:1.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS This winner had impressive results and the ability to execute the campaign across channels with the budget defined. We especially liked the use of direct mail, which we think many in digital continue to dismiss, but is a critical piece of any integrated branding campaign. Their budget and objectives were well explained and laid out which helped understand the campaign. We like how they laid out specific personas. Great work!

PEAK ACE & ZAVA Trust Me, I am an Online Doctor
FINALISTS
SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY
Adequate & HealthLabs From Zero to Superhero
We worked with Zava, a European e-heath provider, to create a data-driven content strategy that positioned it as an expert and innovator within the medical field. Rigorous research, elevated by a partnership with a reputable marketing research institute, produced data on medical topics still largely ignored within the media and society. We packaged this data to easily form the basis of content pieces, on subjects ranging from how childless women can face social exclusion (whether they are voluntarily childless or not), to topics of digitalisation of the medical field and more. While tackling taboo subjects, our outreach strategy also embraced the scrutiny that the COVID-19 pandemic placed on healthcare systems and medicine worldwide. Our results dramatically improved Zava’s profile, greatly increasing its authority score with a huge rise in media mentions.

Instead, we tackled the situation head-on and decided to accelerate its digital transformation process. It built adaptive learning, gamification and advanced learning environments that would offer continuity for its students while setting it up for long-term digital success.
Upstream Bringing in near 700K leads in 4 months for major educational organization
Now, it needed to connect with more learners and open their eyes to the possibilities and benefits of remote education. Under financial pressure from the impact of COVID and investment in their own digital transformation, it did not have the budget for large-scale social advertising. This is where Upstream got involved with a unique form of engagement that would soon deliver vast numbers of potential new recruits. At a time when the business was under immense pressure to deliver, Upstream achieved it… in spades. Although the Upstream team are already proud of their achievements, external recognition of the incredible results would mean the world to them.

Not only this, but excellent results were acheived in comparison to their previous Google and Facebook activities.

Breaking away from the traditional UN campaign approach, we were determined to be more dynamic, youthful and make innovative design choices to attract younger audiences. This award will be a recognition of the amazing teamwork of the Strategic Communications Section and our many collaborators from civil society and youth-groups, which went above and beyond to create a comprehensive and innovative campaign to increase the visibility of the international Youth, Peace and Security Agenda and more specifically advance the visibility of youths contributing to peace in our mission areas.

But that also means it takes 21 days to break one. Green Cola is an independent British brand setting new standards in the soft drink industry by ditching aspartame, sugar, phosphoric acid and preservatives without compromising on taste. As the country looked to improve health during lockdown, Green Cola came to the fore with its 21 Day Challenge to help people kick that aspartame habit (an artificial sweetener found in other diet colas, which consumers have growing concerns about - particularly diabetics).

AND what’s good for people’s bodies is also good for Green Cola - an independent, British company taking on the big boys and girls. By serving paid ads on social back the same audience, using influencer content, it’s trebled sales since March 2021 and is now the top selling cola on Amazon - beating Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

GLOBAL CRISIS MANAGEMENT CAMPAIGN
Q&E ADVERTISING & LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GROUP SRI LANKA #stayhomestaysafe
SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY LSEG is a leading global financial markets infrastructure and data provider. We play a vital social and economic role in the world’s financial system. With our trusted expertise, global scale, and foundational financial and transaction services — data, analytics, risk, collateral and processing solutions, capital formation and trade execution — we empower the sustainable growth and stability of our customers and their communities. Winning an award for the campaign that was created and conceptualised in partnership with Q&E Advertising (Pvt) Ltd. would be extremely meaningful – especially considering that this was done in the midst of the pandemic. At a time where retrenchment was at a high, LSEG were not only focused on holding onto our people, but looked to grow, bringing on more people. We also wanted connected with our fellow citizens, giving them a sense of solidarity that we are all in this together. In a year that was difficult for all, together as mankind, we rose to the occasion and survived – and in our own little way, LSEG play a part in helping our people, that’s why it would be extremely meaningful not just for us as an organisation but us as individuals who make up LSEG.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS At a time when many people were worried about future sustainability of their employment, we thought it was great to see an example of an organisation that not only succeeded throughout the pandemic, but used this success to not only promote a very low budget recruitment drive, but to educate current and potential future employees on staying safe/working from home. We particularly liked the focus on encouraging employees to share time with lovedones. They really had a great use of current events for positive change and reassurance for current and prospect employees. We also liked the feature video and flyer materials within the submission. They also had a great use of short, simple, but powerful hashtags to support the campaign on LinkedIn and Facebook. It was brilliant to see the increase of prospect CV, and the uplift was impressive. Achieving this through a pandemic, whilst positioning LSEG in a positive light and as an attractive place to work, which is commendable.

The fact that they could still yield such incredible results is all the more commendable. They had an impressive strategy and results! We all love the focus on building a team and their morale. Along with the way they found interesting ways to engage with consumers on the supply chain, creating positive customer impact.

customers actually want than ever before. We help organisations and brands deliver that – from sales leads for accounting software to reminding you that what you really, really want is a cracking roast dinner (you want one now... see, we’re that good). We’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved in the last year and this would mark their efforts. We saw growth in 2020/21, we’ve welcomed 10 new clients including a FTSE 100 and four employees have joined the team to deliver some of the best work we’ve undertaken. We were also named by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s Fastest Growing Businesses. Our work spans Global, European and UK.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS We thought this entry was a clear winner within this category. The team and agency objectives are not just about making money, they have a strong emphasis on other goals. With a people focused culture and strong business results, their impact was clear to see, aided by their values and structure. We also thought that this agency did a great job of telling a story about the challenges faced. It was great to hear how they rised above COVID challenges and kept growing in spite of the cuts required.
GLOBAL MARKETING AGENCY OF THE YEAR (SMALL)
MOVE MARKETING SUMMARY OF WINNING ENTRY Established in July 2017, Manchester and Cambridge-based Move Marketing is an integrated B2B marketing agency which helps industrial, science and technology companies articulate complex technical messages and communicate better with their customers and prospects across a variety of channels both in the UK and on an international scale, with clients as far afield as Canada, the USA and Australia. Fundamentally we help drive thought leadership positions for our clients. This is underpinned by a crystal clear value proposition – our strapline is “we speak B2B” and we maintain that we do exactly that where others stutter. Our clients typically export 80% of their product sales so crossborder fluency is a key element of the expertise we provide. As a challenger brand it would mean the world to Move to win a Global Marketing Award and would do wonders in terms of raising our profile, building our credibility and enabling us to better compete and win on international pitches. Global marketing, particularly in the B2B space, is a complex and competitive landscape and we’ve demonstrated incredible flexibility, dynamism and authenticity across the period in completing a raft of massive achievements against the odds.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS This winning entry had a great focus on people and skills development - leveraging their intellectual IP and investing in the community. We thought their objectives are well defined and were especially aggressive towards growth targets. They also provided great supporting documents, clearly stating their objectives. Not only this, but we beleive they had a creative approach to client planning. We as a judging panel encourage this agency to keep growing.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS We were really impressed to see how employees are truly put first within this winning agency. Even when the pandemic hit, they didn’t forget their employee led principles, they just amplified them even more. Not only this, but their objectives are very much aligned to employee centricity; one that is sometimes overlooked in favour of profit by many agencies. It was also great to see several successful examples of reactionary client campaigns during the pandemic. All their supporting documents were really helpful in assessing this submission, the high level of detail provided was highly commended on the judging panel.
