John Hadfield, Chair of the Effie Singapore 2020/21, said: “It is a hard task to achieve an Effie. Even more so given the COVID19 context. Congratulations to the twelve winners that convinced the judges of their merits. And thanks to everyone for their continued support in making the Effies the gold standard effectiveness award in Singapore.”
Shufen Goh, President of Association of Advertising & Marketing Singapore (AAMS), said: “Submitting and winning an Effie is probably the hardest thing to do for any given year, let alone during a pandemic. The quality of work speaks to the resilience and commitment of the people behind these campaigns.”
Pablo Gomez Head of Creative and Media of Kantar Insights Singapore, and Effie sponsor, said: “First we have to recognise the amazing work that the agency teams have been able to put together, considering the many challenges they faced in a pandemic. It was a great surprise to see very bold campaigns with nuance, localised insight which turn smartly activated in quite a daring way.”
