Yorkshire Tea wins the Grand Effie at the 2023 Effie Awards UK

LONDON, 9th November 2023 — Effie UK, which recognises and celebrates the most effective marketing of the year, is proud to unveil the winners of the 2023 Effie Awards UK competition.

Twenty-one Gold, Silver and Bronze winners were chosen this year for solving a marketing challenge effectively, connecting with the target audience and achieving outstanding results.

Yorkshire Tea scooped the Grand Effie for the most effective marketing campaign in the UK, and also a Gold for its long-running brand campaign, ‘Where Everything’s Done Proper’. Four other brands were also awarded Gold: CALM, Mayor of London, Pot Noodle and Tesco.

Strieborné ocenenia získalo osem značiek – Dell, Heinz Pasta Sauces, McDonald's, Santander, Tesco, TV Licensing, Vodafone a The Woolmark Company. Effie UK tiež odovzdala osem bronzových ocenení: Capita pre britskú armádu, DFS, H&M, Merlin Entertainments, Detský hospic Noemovej archy, Renault UK, Tesco a TUI.

This year, six of the Gold, Silver and Bronze awards winners were from the Positive Change category – a demonstration of brands reaping the rewards for making useful contributions to society. The same category also generated the most shortlisted entries among this year’s 40 finalists – the event’s largest number of finalists ever. A further four winners, including the Grand Effie winner, came from the Sustained Success category – sending out a strong message about the power of long term thinking to drive business success.

The 2023 Effie Awards UK were announced at a special celebration held at Christ Church Spitalfields on November 9, and this year featured winners from a broader range of marketing disciplines than ever before. Winning entries came from eCRM, PR-led activity, shopper marketing strategy and social media activation, alongside more traditional entrants from advertising. Winners also spanned both national and regional campaigns, highlighting that local, small-budget marketing can be highly effective.

Juliet Haygarth, Managing Director, Effie UK, said: “​​It’s not easy to make effective marketing day in and day out. Nor is it easy to win an Effie.  With more entries than ever, this year’s competition was hotly contested and has produced a strong set of winners that are testament to the talent, tenacity and innovation of marketers in the UK.  We’re proud to shine a spotlight on a diverse set of work that demonstrates the tangible impact marketing can have, no matter what the challenge.”
