It's time to pick up
an Effie.
Introduced by the New York American Marketing Association in 1968, the Effie Awards have since become recognised by advertisers and agencies as the pre-eminent award in the advertising industry. It is now held in 51 countries around the world with 2 regional programmes as well as a global competition.
The annual awards are presented to recognise the year’s most effective advertising and marketing communications campaigns – campaigns that have delivered superior results in meeting the objectives they were designed to achieve.
The Effie Awards Aotearoa in association with TVNZ proudly continue the FFR Shadow Judging Programme. This unique opportunity allows young advertising and communications professionals to gain first-hand experience and insights into the Effie Awards judging process. Participants will observe and learn from experienced judges, understand the elements of compelling papers, and delve into assessing marketing effectiveness.
