Mondelez, Kimberly-Clark, Unilever Among Top Marketers Recognized For Shopper Marketing Effectiveness at 2018 North American Shopper Marketing Effie Awards

Geometry Global Sweeps the Competition with 10 Shopper Marketing Effie Trophies at Path to Purchase Institute's P2PSummit

SCHAUMBURG, IL (March 13, 2018) – Mondelēz, Kimberly-Clark and Unilever were among the most effective marketers at the 2018 North American Shopper Marketing Effie Awards, which were awarded tonight at the Path to Purchase Institute's Shopper Marketing Celebration.  Geometry Global won a total of 10 Shopper Marketing Effies, by far the most of any agency in this year's competition. 

Shopper Marketing Effie Awards honor the most effective integrated campaigns designed to engage the shopper and guide the purchase process. Shopper Marketing Effie case studies are scored and debated over two rounds of judging and must have the insight, creativity and results to earn an Effie Award.

Mondelēz won 4 Shopper Marketing Effies, while Kimberly-Clark and Unilever closely followed with 3 Shopper Marketing Effie trophies apiece. 

Team Unilever Shopper and KC Shopper Connect won 3 Effies each, and TracyLocke and Integer Group were both awarded 2 Effie Awards.

“The marketing and media landscape is evolving quickly, and this year’s Shopper Marketing Effie winners highlight the very best of what marketing teams can achieve when brands and retailers work closely to redefine what success looks like along the path to purchase,” said Traci Alford, President and CEO of Effie Worldwide. “Shopper Marketing Effie winners have achieved effectiveness in a complex, competitive marketing category and, in turn, have given other marketers an opportunity to learn from the best.”

"Shopper Marketing Effie winning teams are known for leading the charge on insight, technology and creative path-to-purchase strategies that deliver results," said Mike McMahon, President & CEO, Path to Purchase Institute. 

The summation of total points earned by both this year’s winners and finalists will be factored into the Effie Index, which ranks the most effective advertisers, brands, holding companies and agencies in the world. North American Effie rankings will be announced at the Effie Awards Gala on May 31, 2018 in New York.
