Why now?
Launched in 2011, the Creative Effectiveness Lions have been defined by a demanding entry process involving detailed dissection of the work, focused largely on articulating demonstrable results. It’s a requirement that has had the effect of bringing companies and their brands together to collaborate on submissions – a process that is in itself beneficial.
We understand now more than ever that creativity drives effectiveness and that creativity is the most actionable driver of effective work.
Our aim is to provide a shared language around what effective work looks like and how it is discussed and assessed. Through the redesign and restructure of our entry form and new and updated categories we have provided a framework around which entries should be built and also assessed by our panel of expert jurors.
The newly designed and restructured entry form consists of four main sections relating to different types of results including Engagement & Awareness, Social Behaviour & Insight, Brand Affinity & Sentiment and Sales Success.
This will allow entrants to provide a range of results across a variety of areas. There is also the opportunity to upload any relevant graphs, charts or images at the end of each of the sections. The form also includes questions around the objectives of the work and discounting factors.
What kind of work can be entered?
Creative Effectiveness Lions is open to any organisation that has won or been shortlisted for a Lion in 2018, 2019 or 2020/2021, that can demonstrate that their creative work has driven results and achieved commercial success for a brand.
