Roundy’s/Metro Market and Cramer-Krasselt won a Silver Effie for “From Big Box to Food Boutiques”

Mondelēz, Kimberly-Clark and Unilever were among the most effective marketers at the 2018 North American Shopper Marketing Effie Awards, which were awarded at Path to Purchase Institute’s Shopper Marketing Celebration on March 13 in Schaumburg, Ill. 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 recognize the most effective integrated campaigns designed to engage the shopper and guide the purchase process. Submitted case studies are scored and debated over two rounds of judging and must have the insight, creativity and results to garner an Award.

Deerfield, Ill.-based Mondelēz won four Shopper Marketing Effies, while Kimberly-Clark and Unilever each earned three of the awards program’s trophies. Team Unilever Shopper and KC Shopper Connect won three Effies apiece, and TracyLocke and Integer Group each received two 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,” noted Traci Alford, president and CEO of New York-based nonprofit 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,” added Mike McMahon, president and CEO of Chicago-based Path to Purchase Institute, a sister company of Progressive Grocer.

The 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 revealed at the Effie Awards Gala, scheduled for May 31 in New York.

The 2018 Shopper Marketing Effies were sponsored by San Francisco-based Valassis Digital.
