2017 North American Effie Awards: It's Effie Season
Effie North America announced its 2017 Call For Entries in September 2016 with a pro-bono campaign (a series of videos) created by Walrus: “It’s Effie Season”. A nod to its unique case study entry process, “It’s Effie Season” (the campaign’s tagline) pokes fun at the absurd ways agencies fluff up their case study entries and exaggerate results – but with the reminder that ultimately, real results are what win Effies.
