UOB & Income emerged as the top brands for the evening, with UOB winning 2 Gold Effies and Income winning 1 Gold & 2 Silver Effies. BBH, Ogilvy & Mather, Asatsu-DK, DDB, JWT & Entropia were the top-winning agencies.
On the 2018 winners, John Hadfield, Effies Singapore 2018 Chair, commented,
“It is, and should be, a hard task to achieve an Effie. Congratulations to the fourteen winners that convinced the judges of their merits. And thanks to everyone for their continued support in making the Effies the gold standard effectiveness award in Singapore.”
Shufen Goh, Principal and Co-Founder, R3 Worldwide, President of Institute of Advertising Singapore (IAS) commented,
"We have introduced new categories this year and they are well received. More than 30% of entries received are under new categories. Entries from independent agencies and clients have also doubled from 2017.”
Richard Heath, Executive Director, Head of Kantar Millward Brown Singapore and Effie sponsor commented,
“In the 4 years we’ve been involved, it’s been inspiring to see how the work has evolved: brands are becoming more and more adept in telling emotional stories teased out from true Singapore human insight. The best of this year’s work is intuitive. You immediately know, and feel, what it is trying to say. It resonates at the core of your being because an understanding of you was the inspiration in the first place.”
