The Martin Agency and 22squared win big at The Drum Marketing Awards USA 2019

The results were unveiled at a black-tie ceremony in New York’s Edisson Ballroom on Thursday 11 April.

For it's work on Land O’Lakes, The Martin Agency took home the Grand Prix.

The agricultural cooperative collaborated with a Nashville artist and Grammy winning songwriter to rewrite farming’s most iconic song, Old MacDonald, into “She-I-O,” a power anthem celebrating female farmers.

“This multi-platform integrated campaign celebrated and recognised the impact of female farmers in the hopes of inspiring the next generation," said judge and head of marketing at the UK Department for International Trade, Clare Risman.

"Careful consideration of where their teenage audience lived and what they consumed created a layered campaign with rich, compelling content timed to coincide with Women’s Equality Day, the metrics were impressive. The reframing of an iconic song partnering with country rock music legend earned considerable media."

The Martin Agency also won: Marketing Team of the Year, Cause Related, Consumer

This year, Neil Shah, global marketing director of Diaego chaired the judging panel and awarded the Chair Award to 22squared for its work with The Home Depot.

Shah said: “This work is fantastic. It started with a penetrating consumer insight, followed by a smart strategy coupled with an innovative industry-first execution that added real value to budding DIY enthusiasts and new home owners. All in all, a great campaign with some very strong results."

22squared also won: Social Media, Mobile

Another top win of the evening came from The Trade Desk’s Susan Vobejda who took home Marketer of the Year.
