All entries in the Effective Creativity category must have been awarded a Loerie in the past three years, i.e. 2021, 2022 or 2023, with the exception of previous Loeries Effective Creativity Gold winners.
Judging Criteria
- Innovation – All the entries in this category have already proved to be innovative through the fact that they have been awarded a Loerie within the past three years. Therefore, the judges’ focus will not be on innovation, but on the results that have been generated. It is very important that entrants showcase clearly how this past Loerie-winning work proved to be effective for the associated brand, and as much data as possible should be provided to substantiate this.
- Quality of execution – How well the elements have been implemented will be evaluated, in conjunction with the results generated. Could it have been done better? Could more have been done?
- Relevance to brand, target audience, and chosen medium – Here the results of the campaign will be considered in the context of brand, target and media used.
