Patou Nuytemans, CEO Europe, Africa & Middle East, said: “Effie Europe helps us prove that creative ideas, as shortcut solutions to big brand challenges, can drive disproportionate impact for brands, people and the planet. Demonstrating the commercial value of what we do as an industry is especially important in the current economic climate when communication budgets need to work even harder. And sometimes – when brands and agencies hold hands – we even succeed in contributing to making the world a slightly better place. Congratulations to all the Effie winners. We are proud to be one of them."
