Entries for 2024 opened from 3 April 2024 with a variety of deadlines and fees applicable. The final deadline to send in entries is 25 June 2024.

Founded over 50 years ago, Effie is a global symbol of achievement within the industry. Effie Worldwide stands for effectiveness in marketing, spotlighting ideas that work and encouraging thoughtful dialogue about the drivers of marketing effectiveness. It's mission is to lead, inspire and champion marketing effectiveness globally.
With this goal in mind, we were excited to host a series of individual one-hour workshops for agencies and clients to examine and workshop their case studies. We hope, for those that were able to attend, this session helped to make your overall story really strong, crisp, clear, and inspiring. For those that didn't get to sign up for a session, you can download some key advice here>>
Top Tips from Last Year's Jury:
- BE CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPELLING & HONEST - Judges evaluate 5-6 cases in a session – shorter, well-written entries stand out.
- CONTEXT IS KEY - Judges typically do not work in your category & may not know your brand. Provide judges with the context to understand the degree of difficulty for your challenge & the significance of your results. Limit industry jargon & define all terms.
- SPEAK TO THE ENTRY CATEGORY - Judges evaluate work on effectiveness in the context of the entered category. Be sure your stated goal & results align.
- TELL A STORY - Write your entry with your audience, Effie Judges, in mind. Judges are looking for an engaging, well-written story that links each section of the form together. Judges will be evaluating your work with a critical eye – address questions you suspect they will have.
- REVIEW - Ask colleagues who do not work on the brand to review the entry. Ask what questions they have – what was unclear? Where did the case fall flat? Ask a strong proof-reader to review the entry.
