There are 71 campaigns, submitted by 26 companies, competing for the EFFIE Awards Romania 2007. The categories with the largest number of entries are Promotions and Alcoholic Beverages.
„I think EFFIE is the leading contest on the market as celebrates and honors advertising and communication RESULTS”, Narcis Horhoianu Associate Marketing Director Procter & Gamble and President of the Organizing Committee EFFIE Romania 2007 said.
„What sets EFFIE apart from the other contests is that it brings a high level of objectivity driven by judging both business contribution and the creative execution of the communication campaigns, while putting a higher weight on the business results. I think this is the type of award you really wish for, as it’s about PASSION TO WIN in the market place. This is unique and challenging and obviously was the driving engine for putting together more than 70 applications from across industry, this year. In addition, the increased number of categories this year, better reflecting market needs also helped in stimulating a good level of excitement at the industry level”, Horhoianu said.
The entries will be judged in two rounds, on the 27th and on the 28th of March. The winners will be announced during the Award Gala, that will take place on the 29th of March.
