Creative Good’ category introduced to The Marketing Can Change the World Awards
That is why the Marketing Can Change the World Awards is introducing a new category, the Creative Good Award, to the 16 categories that already celebrate the best work across the purpose led marketing field.
The stellar examples of effective creative that is making a real world changing impact is chosen from all the social good/cause related work featured in The Drum's Creative Works segment, with the winner selected by the creative works editor, Kyle O’Brien and senior reporter of creative content in Europe, Katie Deighton.
The nominations are: Adam & Eve DDB, AMV BBDO, BBDO/New York, Forsman & Bodensfor, J Walter Thompson, McCann New York, Patagonia, Publics, The Corner/ The 7 Stars and W Communications.
O'Brien said: "More and more agencies and brands are using their marketing dollars to make a difference in their communities and for society in general. As they do, the quality of the creative for those campaigns for good gets better and better, and the causes they support are more important than ever – racial and gender diversity, equality issues, bullying and other hot-button topics.
"These awards help call out the best of the efforts of those brands and organizations to help move the needle on important societal issues, showing that doing good can be good for business as well.
"While picking finalists was a difficult task because of the high level of work, The Drum is proud to feature those who have championed causes greater than themselves."
