Campaigns by Ogilvy (5), JWT (2), Leo Burnett (2), BBDO, Creativeland Asia, Dentsu, Flying Cursor, Grey Group India, Lowe Lintas and Medulla Healthcare among winners
Winners for the second edition of the IndIAA Awards were announced at an awards gala in Mumbai on 16 September 2016. Winners were announced across 15 of the 21 categories this year. The jury decided not to award any of the work in six categories.
Work by Ogilvy & Matter took home five of the awards on the night. JWT (2), Leo Burnett (2), BBDO, Creativeland Asia, Dentsu, Flying Cursor, Grey Group India, Lowe Lintas and Medulla Healthcare were among creators of winning work.
The jury headed by PepsiCo's D Shivakumar included Geetu Verma of HUL, Shantanu Khosla of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, Sanjay Behl of Raymond, Amit Syngle of Asian Paints and VL Rajesh of ITC.
The IndIAA Awards chooses only one winner in a category, or a joint winner in case of tied scores.
Pradeep Guha, chairman, IndIAA Awards, said, “What started as a concept last year has matured very fast. It is very rare that something matures in two years and I think that this concept is here to stay.”
Srinivasan Swamy, President, IAA India chapter and SVP, IAA Global, added, “Last year, when we conceptualised the IndIAA Awards, we intended it to be different. We are happy to see industry acknowledge the concept of awarding all the co-creators of the campaign. I would also like to thank the stellar jury for their perspective on the winning campaigns.”
