The Awards are judged using two unique frameworks: WARC/LIONS Creative Effectiveness and B2B Effectiveness Ladders

Honouring the best ideas that deliver business results, the first winners are now announced for the WARC Awards for Effectiveness 2023 in association with LIONS.

13 Silver and 16 Bronze accolades have been awarded in this international competition, now in its third year. Campaigns for both global and local brands, and for a diverse range of product categories covering retail, fashion, CPG and financial products, are represented showcasing how marketers are impacting growth across different sectors and audience types.

The United Kingdom and the United States have each won six awards, Canada has won four, and the United Arab Emirates three. India, Saudi Arabia and Sweden have each won two. Brazil, New Zealand, The Philippines, and first-time winner Nigeria, have all picked up one award.

The seven esteemed jury panels, made up of 80 highly-regarded industry experts from around the world, followed a rigorous judging process using the Creative Effectiveness and the B2B Effectiveness Ladders, unique tools providing a consistent approach and global language to benchmark effectiveness.

Commenting on these first results, John Bizzell, Awards Lead, WARC, says: “We thank our juries who have worked tirelessly and congratulate all the Silver and Bronze winners on their stand-out achievements in building business success.
