a. Eficacia Awards winners revealed!
The twenty-fifth edition of the Eficacia Awards took place yesterday in Madrid. The event was presented by Jesús Vázquez, who proudly recalled that he has been presenting the event for ten years.
The Eficacia Awards have been constantly evolving and growing. In the beginning, they had an audience of 500 people and today they fill the seats of the Teatro Real. Lidia Sanz, general director of the Spanish Association of Advertisers, explained how the event went from being held at the Palacio de Congresos to the show we know nowadays.
The awards witnessed the success of CUPRA, which won this edition’s incredible Effectiveness Grand Prix and Gold in the “Brand Building” category. These two awards reward the effectiveness of its advertising strategy and the long-lasting impact of the brand. The agency &Rosás has been the one who has made possible the successful advertising campaign that has led to the success of CUPRA. Cupra has added a new achievement after being recognized as Best Advertiser of the Year at the 6th APCP Awards.
