The WARC Awards - Effective Content Strategy shortlist announced
8 June 2017 - The second of three shortlists of The WARC Awards, a new global competition honouring the effective use of emerging marketing disciplines, is now released.

20 entries from around the world have made the shortlist for the Effective Content Strategy category, which rewards branded content strategies that can demonstrate a business outcome.

Chaired by Alison Keith, Vice President - Global Media of Coty, the 16-strong international jury panel of senior industry professionals looked for evidence of how a content strategy - as opposed to a traditional advertising strategy - has helped a brand achieve business goals.

While 'content' can be defined in many different ways, for these Awards, WARC seeked editorial-style content (including audio, video, text and imagery), commissioned by a brand and designed to win attention.
