Hovis rises to occasion at IPA Effectiveness Awards
The Hovis television advertising campaign to mark the bread brand’s 122nd anniversary scooped the Grand Prix at the IPA Effectiveness Awards last night (1 November).
The “As good as it’s ever been” campaign was created by MCBD and the agency also took the Effectiveness Company of the Year award.
The campaign is credited with producing up to £90m incremental profit and its impact was mentioned in Premier Foods’ March 2009 results.
A number of public sector campaigns, such as TDA Teacher Recruitment by DDB UK and MEC and Stroke Awareness by DLKW, also took awards. The value of traditional media public sector campaigns has been questioned by the coalition Government and there is doubt over the future of the COI.
Lord Burns, chairman of Channel Four and Santander UK and chairman of the award judges, says: “I have witnessed first-hand the close scrutiny that the papers submitted into the IPA Effectiveness Awards is put under. The winning campaigns have produced outstanding results, in terms of incremental profit, which is testament to the power of marketing communications and to the talents of all those entrants.”
Television was the most used media, deployed in 36 out of the 38 winning entries while the second most used form of communication was press advertising, used in 31 of the 38 winning entries.
This was followed by outdoor advertising, used in 25 of the 38 winning entries, while websites/microsites, online display and PR were each used in 22 winning entries.
