“There were many stand-out campaign submissions this year that performed high above the radar and many initiatives from some of SA’s best-loved brands that we South Africans have become accustomed to during the past 12 months,” says founder Stephen Paxton.
“Many new agencies and corporates entered this year showcasing fresh and exciting work that truly grasps the concept of digital innovation and community engagement.”
“A big thank you to our esteemed judges for their insights and hard graft over the past three weeks, who each marked on average 75 submissions, with the entries and categories equally split among the 21-strong judging panel, each marked by a minimum of four judges.”
