Romanian EFFIE Awards 2016 jury comprises 90 experts in research, marketing and communication, university teachers

Paweł Tyszkiewicz, chairman of Polish Effie Committee & CEO Polish Marketing Communications Association SAR, will chair the jury comprising 90 persons from the top management of companies and advertising agencies, but also from the academic field that are part of this year’s Romanian EFFIE Awards.

“I am honored to be part of this year’s edition of EFFIE Romania. I believe that we can all benefit from the experience exchange between the EFFIE Awards from the entire world. All of the 46 EFFIE programs demonstrate the importance of the role that the marketing and communication community has in the global economy. EFFIE is like a business proposal that sets the high standards for the whole creative industry,” said Tyszkiewicz.

The judging process will include two stages – the first will take place on the September 5-6 and the second one on September 20. The first stage will be followed by an event branded EFFIE – The Nominees Gala (September 9) and the Awards Gala (September 22).

The jurors, divided in two judging rounds (for choosing the nominees and the winners), will evaluate in both rounds both the contest form and the creative executions. All the jurors will give grades from 1 to 100 (1 = the campaign was not efficient / 100 = the campaign was extremely efficient) for each of the four components of the campaign, according to the new Effie directions: communications challenge and objectives, strategic insights and idea, bringing the idea to life and results. After the first round there will be a shortlist of candidates that will reach the second round, when the judging process will be re-opened.

Both of the judging rounds this year will be moderated by 10 specialists in the field that come to complete the judging. Their role will be to initiate and conduct debates related to the specific of every category, but also of every study case. All those discussion will contribute in the final creation of the Effie Insight Guide, a tool meant to help the agencies and the clients to create campaign as efficient as possible, by gaining a better image over the market.
