GP and UPS triumph at JCDecaux awards

SHANGHAI - Battery brand GP has won the best creative platinum award at the first annual JCDecaux Metro Best of the Best Awards ceremony in Shanghai, with UPS picking up the top award for best use of media.

The GP work was crafted by WE Marketing Group, and shows a fist made up of GP batteries breaking through a poster with tagline ‘Power, infinite power’.

Kenny Wong, managing director of WE Marketing Group said: “Batteries are low involvement products, but we have caught the top of mind awareness and nailed the local insight and relevancy, and it created a strong symbolic impression as a fist equals power.”

Asahi beer won best branding gold award and the best new product campaign gold went to Nokia for its work on the 5500 handset.
