Australia/NZ contingent does well at this year’s Facebook Studio Awards

Share

The winners of the 2014 Facebook Studio Awards have been announced today, with Australian and New Zealand ad agencies taking home four of 15 international Facebook Studio Awards.

“We talk a lot about the revolution happening in technology, but this is paralleled by a creative revolution of equal value,” said Mark D’Arcy, Facebook’s chief creative officer. “The Studio Awards don’t simply celebrate the best work; they shine a spotlight on the brands and agencies who are accelerating this change, connecting to the people that really matter and driving growth in their business.”

This year’s Blue Award, the top honour in the awards, went to Droga5 and Heineken USA for ‘If We Made It,’ a Newcastle Brown Ale campaign created to compete with flashier Super Bowl ads.

2014 featured the, “most geographically diverse group of winners in the Awards’ three-year history,” Facebook said in a statement.  This year also introduces a new category highlighting not-for-profit campaigns, Facebook for Good. Our first Blue for Good award went to BBDO and Amnesty International for Trial by Timeline, which makes people aware of egregious criminal sentences being levied by governments around the world.
