Crayola, DENTSU CREATIVE, and Golin PR’s “Color Yourself into the World” won the Iridium Effie and was named the most effective campaign in the world at the second annual Global Best of the Best Effie Awards.
The work also won the Global Grand Effie Award in the Product/Service Launch category, and previously won a Gold Effie in the 2021 Effie Awards US competition. With the “Colors of the World” launch and “#TrueSelfie” campaign, Crayola enabled all children to access a power they had collectively been denied – the ability to accurately color themselves, their families, and their friends into the world.
The 2022 competition was open to 2021 Gold and Grand Effie winners from all regional and national Effie Awards programs around the world. Out of 60 Global Grand contenders, 12 emerged as Global Grand Effie winners.
Entrants competed in two rounds of review by the Global Best of the Best and Global Grand Juries. See full list of winners below.
Traci Alford, Global CEO, Effie Worldwide said: “The Global Best of the Best Effies are just that. They represent the very best of our industry globally. Not only have this year’s Global Grand winners proven themselves to be effective across Effie’s framework and achieved top recognitions locally, but they have continued to impress and inspire global juries through two competitive rounds of review, proving that their ideas transcended borders. A big congratulations to this year’s winning teams, and to Crayola for being awarded the most effective work worldwide.”
