OgilvyAction London is celebrating after picking up a range of gongs at the prestigious MAA Best Awards that took place on 1st March at The Brewery, EC1. The agency was awarded the top place in 2 separate categories:
Best Digitally Led Campaign – Wetherspoons Unlocked
Best Development of Agency Talent.
The agency scored another win when it took a Merit in the Digitally Led Campaign Category for its work for 3M.
The MAA praised each OgilvyAction initiative as follows:
- Wetherspoons Unlocked – “It’s very hard to stand out with the student market, who are widely targeted with student-friendly deals. The combination of mobile technology and augmented reality was used extremely well and this campaign created a real buzz that associated well with the Wetherspoon brand. It gave a really clear reason to students to keep returning and to keep using the App: the offers got better and more frequent and there was a really clear social aspect to this campaign so offers also got better the more the App was shared”. Andrew Reeves, OgilvyAction COO, says: “We are absolutely thrilled that this trail-blazing campaign has been awarded such a prestigious accolade. Wetherspoons has set the benchmark for innovative digital activation activity that truly drives footfall and engages audiences”.
- Best Development of Agency Talent – “OgilvyAction’s identification and use of the ‘8 habits’ which unite highly creative communities was very innovative and it was also clear that they had a strategic approach to talent management. The way they integrated these ‘habits’ was meaningful for career progression and it was achieved without having a large budget”. Andrew Reeves, OgilvyAction COO, adds: “Quite simply, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible support and a stimulating environment for all OgilvyAction people; it’s wonderful to have our efforts recognised. It’s a great way to forge ahead in 2012.”
