Zee5 along with Publicis Media and Equinox Digital has won Bronze award for ‘using google search ads as a real-time news portal’ in the Best Use of Data category of Warc’s Media Awards 2019.

Warc’s Media Awards 2019 is a global case study competition recognising communications planning which has made a positive impact on business results.

A total of nine winners - one Grand Prix, two Golds, three Silvers and three Bronzes - have been awarded in the Best Use of Data category that highlights the role of data in an effective communications strategy.

The jury, chaired by Scott Marsden, SVP, Head of Marketing, Parachute, also awarded three Special Awards for particular areas of expertise: the Personalisation Award, for the best example of a campaign that used data to segment effectively; the Attribution Award, for the best example of a channel attribution model; and the Data-Driven Insight Award, for a campaign where data helped to identify the right audience at scale.

The Grand Prix, as well as the Personalisation Award, has been awarded to Starcom and MRY in the US for the 'Not Just One Creator' campaign for footwear and clothing brand Vans.

Capitalising on the increased customisability of its shoes, Vans used influencers to successfully broaden its appeal among teens and young adults in the US, generating both brand awareness and revenue.
