Ideas that work - the great ideas that achieve real results and the strategy that goes into creating them. Effie winners represent client and agency teams who tackled a marketplace challenge with a big idea and knew exactly how to communicate their message to their customer. Since 1968, winning an Effie has become a global symbol of achievement. Today, Effie celebrates effectiveness worldwide with the Global Effie, the Euro Effie and more than 30 national Effie programs.
