The International ANDY Awards has announced its 2024 winners. As the first industry award show of the season, the ANDYs continue to find ways to reinvent the award process to serve the global advertising community better.
The major winners are:
Best In Show GRANDY was won by Marcel for WoMen’s Football for Orange, a campaign that helped expose the biases of women’s football, in particular a widely-held belief that the women’s team lack technical skills. The campaign only meant for the French market went viral worldwide.
Best in Show Bravery went to MRM Chile for We Didn’t Write This for NotCo/NotMilk, created as the company fought through a strong lawsuit in which presented them as a company without scruples that was misleading consumers to buy a product that was not milk. After years of back and forth, the agency took several excerpts from the lawsuit and turned them into ads – as the lawyers’ writings turned out to actually define NotMilk in the perfect way.
Best In Show for Craft was won by Accenture Song’s The Monkeys for Play It Safe, for Sydney Opera House’s 50th Anniversary to reawaken Australia’s once-great creative spirit – the defiant, reckless, boundless dreaming that led to a place like the Sydney Opera House being built in the first place.
In addition, The Monkeys were presented with the Best of Region title in APAC.
Best In Show RESET went to McCann NYfor AdLam for Microsoft, for its Adlam alphabet helping to preserve a culture.
