"Also in this special year, the Effie Awards show signs of a great track record, " explains Mira De Maeyer, CMO, VP, Marketing, Europe at Perrigo and Jury Chairman of the Effie Awards. "I particularly noticed that brands are succeeding in demonstrating the impact of more and more aspects of their communication mix. In the winning cases, we saw links with client service, with product design, with influencer marketing, ... Also striking is the fact that we again seeing a number of 'new' advertisers on stage. More and more brands are focusing on measuring the impact of their communication efforts and that is very nice to see."
