All the big winners for the 2015 AMASA Awards announced
"This year's Roger Garlick Grand Prix winner demonstrated exceptional innovation in media and creative strategy and the judges where bowled over by the campaign's results, which far exceeded the client's expectations on aspects such as sales, coupon redemption and database growth," says Wayne Bishop, head of the AMASA Awards portfolio. "The campaign was truly multi-platform in nature and through optimised channels, platforms and creative, MediaShop were able to not only demonstrate a well thought out campaign, but also achieve outstanding results," completes Bishop.
Fiona Potgieter, Mobile Strategist from MediaShop said: "Through the Hungry Lion Lucky Bucket Campaign, MediaShop, in partnership with Yonder Media, managed to influence the consumer while his wallet was open! Overall, it was a great campaign, led by a great team, which produced great results!"
