Campaign Asia-Pacific’s Event Marketing Awards were presented in a virtual prize-giving ceremony that just concluded on Zoom and Facebook Live.
Auditoire Asia once again scored the top honour of Experiential Marketing Agency of the Year while the Mercedes-Benz Bam Festival 2019 by Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong won Best of Brand Experience.
SMS Group took home an impressive number of awards including four golds, five silvers, and three bronze awards, for various automotive client work including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche and SAIC Motor (two of those awards were won along with Pico Group). MSL Group also won big this year for its work with FWD Life Insurance Company. Experiential powerhouse Freeman, meanwhile, picked up two golds and six bronze medals.
