Speaking on the significance of the win, Jhumka Saha, Leader Mindshare Sri Lanka explained, “We are proud of the recognition the Effies have brought to the hard work, strategic thinking and partnerships behind the brand communication planning framework. Mindshare’s win for Unilever brands Pears and Lifebuoy in categories like Renaissance and Personal Care as Finalists endorses our belief that Client-Agency partnership is the key to create winning brands. Unilever Sri Lanka’s win as the Marketer of the Year also proves the same belief. As a team we accept hard challenges and we feel the exhilaration of the victory as well.”

By working with the top research and media organizations in the world, the Effies bring its audience relevant, first-class insights into what communication campaigns have worked best, then recognise the work.
