The 48 single and 31 joint case studies represent over £6bn of marketing spend from brands as varied as Heinz, the BBC and the US Army and span local, regional and global marketing communications from seven different markets around the world including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. They also represent sectors ranging from Government and charity to FMCG, media, telecoms, and financial services.
Chair of Judges Catherine Kehoe will join Convenor of Judges Jo Arden and Deputy Convenor Charlie Ebdy in presiding over the Client, Industry and Technical Panels, which include representatives from some of the world’s leading brands and agencies, as they analyse the submissions ahead of the shortlist announcement in July and Awards ceremony in October. Lessons from the winning case studies will then be explored during the IPA Effectiveness Conference 2024.
Says Jo Arden, Chief Strategy Officer, Ogilvy UK and Convenor of Judges for the IPA Effectiveness Awards 2024: "Our mission for the IPA Effectiveness Awards 2024 is to break new frontiers, bring in people with different perspectives and encourage new thinking, so it is incredibly heartening to see so many first-time entries from new brands and agencies.
The IPA Effectiveness Awards were established to help turn effectiveness into the global language of marketing, so we are delighted to see effectiveness at the top of the agenda for so many companies, large and small, all around the world.
"Collecting the data and submitting your IPA Effectiveness Awards paper is no mean feat, so congratulations to everyone that has done so. By entering the Awards, you have already made a huge contribution to the study of how marketing communications drive impact for brands. I, and the rest of the judging panel, can’t wait to get started evaluating these fantastic case studies."
The record number of entries this year evidences an incredible appetite from brand owners and agency partners, big and small, to prove not just that their work works but how it works. The 2024 slate is strong and the effectiveness outlook is bright.
