- PRESS RELEASE
Grey EMEA scooped Agency Network of the Year for the third consecutive year at the EACA Euro Effie awards ceremony held in Brussels, after landing eight trophies in six categories including long-term effectiveness, FMCG, brand activation and social responsibility communications.
The Euro Effies are the premier awards for proven communications effectiveness across Europe - rewarding campaigns that build brands across borders. The competition is organised by The European Association of Communications Agencies (EACA) and is considered the gold standard in commercial communications effectiveness.
On hearing the news of the win, Philippe Skaff, CEO of Grey Middle East said, "Our clients feel the efficiency of our network first hand, but to be recognized three times in a row shows the being the best is not incidental but our strategic choice to be and stay the premium network in all the EMEA region and that is very good news for the Middle-East and Africa which requires more than ever dynamism and quality of that sort."
Since 2005 Grey EMEA has landed a total of 22 Euro Effie awards, making Grey consistently the most effective agency network of the region. This total includes ten awards for P&G, three for SEAT, two for GlaxoSmithKline, in addition to awards for Deichmann and Novartis.
Comments Dominic Lyle, director general EACA, "Grey has achieved what no other agency
network has accomplished since the launch of the Euro Effies - it has landed the coveted Agency
Network of the YearAward three years running - solidly confirming Grey's ability to build its
clients' brands across Europe in some of the toughest categories in the world."
