BBDO India's Ariel #ShareTheLoad is 9th most successful campaign: The Good Report

The Good Report is a unique ranking of the world’s best use of creative communications to promote sustainability and social responsibility to raise awareness of major social and environmental issues. It is created in collaboration between ACT Responsible, an international non-profit association and the largest global source of the world’s best ads on social and environmental issues, and The Gunn Report, the global index of creative excellence in advertising. 

BBDO India’s Ariel #ShareTheLoad is the ninth most successful campaign while the agency stood at No. 19 among top agencies in the world. P&G India is at No. 10 among top advertisers.

A total of 702 campaigns produced by 461 agencies for 608 advertisers from 71 countries were evaluated for the latest Good Report. The ranking is created by combining the industry's recognition with the performance measured by The Gunn Report, as well as the promotional effort behind the campaigns and the general public's recognition from public votes organised by ACT Responsible. There are no complicated criteria or categories, just great work for Good.

The Good Report 2016 is made up of 40 campaigns, of which 24 are for NGOs, institutions and foundations and 16 are for commercial corporations. The top 25 agencies are made up of four independents and 21 networked agencies.

Act Responsible considers that advertising recognition is too often confined to its commercial side; and that the other part of its role, such as informing, raising awareness and educating, is often forgotten.

For 16 years now, Act Responsible has collected the best ads promoting sustainability and social responsibility in order to highlight the use of creativity to raise awareness of the world's major issues. Still, hardly any specific recognition is offered to agencies that give time and talent to support the communication of public interest causes. Nonetheless, the commitment of communication professionals to these causes is fundamental; good causes need campaigns to create awareness of their existence.

Act Responsible has created The Good Report in collaboration with The Gunn Report, to celebrate the wonderful work and dedication that thousands of agencies are making to support these major causes, in order to further motivate and inspire creativity as well as the continued production of new campaigns.

“With The Good Report, ACT Responsible continues its mission of promoting, inspiring and federating the communications industry for the greater good. We truly believe advertising has a major role in educating and promoting good to help make the world a better place and we are proud to celebrate this work every year. Producing The Good Report with the collaboration of The Gunn Report Team is a great privilege,” said Hervé de Clerck, ACT Responsible Dream Leader.

“The Act Responsible Expo is one of the must see exhibitions at Cannes Lions each year. It honours the hugely valuable job our industry does, throughout the year in countries all round the world, in multiplying the impact and effectiveness of communications for good causes. The Good Report adds a commendable extra dimension to their mission and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Donald Gunn, Founder, The Gunn Report and ACT'ive Partner.
