Results are vital to the evaluation of the campaign’s success and should help prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the choice and use of commercial communications led to the campaign’s success.
The final decision of the jury on the EACA Euro Effies 2007 will be based on two components: effectiveness (80%) and creative realisation (20%).
Please read the on-line tutorial to see what constitutes a winning entry and how effective
Evidence of Results can help your entry to win.
To effectively prove a campaign’s commercial success the Evidence of Results should:
Clearly demonstrate that it reached or exceeded the objectives. A mere correlation between objectives and results will not be sufficient.
Use visuals such as graphs or supporting information to effectively demonstrate the attained growth – graphs must be readable and easy to follow. Ensure that typefaces are large enough.
Demonstrate results per country as well as pan-European results.
Include an introduction (summary) and conclusion in your Evidence of Results to emphasise the point in which you prove effectiveness.
State the reference of all data sources. This could be advertiser data, agency research or thirdparty research companies. Agency names should NOT be mentioned. If your agency is the source of your research, reference ‘Agency Research’. Not referencing a source will result in disqualification.
The jury reserves the right to verify the information and sources.
