Warc Awards for Effectiveness 2022 is a global competition launched in 2021 in association with Lions, awarding the best marketing campaigns that deliver business results.
Each category has been judged by its own high-calibre international jury, who have applied the Warc/Lions Creative Effectiveness Ladder and the Warc/Lions B2B Effectiveness Ladder, unique tools providing a consistent approach and global language to benchmark effectiveness.
Chiara Manco, commissioning editor of case studies at Warc, said, “Following the first stage of our rigorous judging process, for which the universal frameworks of the Creative Effectiveness and B2B Effectiveness Ladders were applied, we are delighted to announce the first three of six shortlists. We see a wide range of global and local brands across different categories shortlisted for this year’s WARC Awards for Effectiveness.”

Judging effective campaigns from one business targeting another, the jury, chaired by Antonia Wade, Global CMO, PwC, UK, has shortlisted a total of seven entries, including three global campaigns and entries from Australia, China, India and the UK.
Shortlisted brands include Ikea, Lexmark, Maersk and Meesho.
