With only 25 Globe awards given annually to the best marketing campaigns globally, the Globes are seen as the Oscars of the international marketing industry.
The judging and process is rigorous with 130 judges from 15 countries demonstrating the high standard of campaign entry and judging. Verve and Guinness won the Alcohol category for the successful Area 22, Guinness Rugby campaign.
Speaking about the win, Verve MD, Ronan Traynor “ This is a humbling win, we are delighted to work with the talented brand team in St. James’s Gate who direct and orchestrate the campaign, working alongside Diageo agency partners, Cybercom and WHPR. This Globe is an endorsement of the vibrant marketing talent alive in Ireland, client and agency side. We are chuffed to have won this global award in our 21st year, as a creative independent agency.
