 “Effie stands for effectiveness in marketing, spotlighting ideas that work and encouraging thoughtful dialogue about the drivers of marketing effectiveness,” says Tom Kinsella, managing director, homes with AIB and this year’s chair of the Effie Awards jury.

“I commend those that have made it to the list of finalists for the 2024 awards. The competitive pool of entries submitted were narrowed down to 30 finalists following intense discussion and scrutiny. The entries showcase the work of 20 agencies and 25 clients across a broad stroke of industry categories and disciplines. All the participating agencies and clients have worked hard to deliver high quality submissions, and we wish them all the best of luck!”

Charley Stoney, CEO, IAPI said; “Effie Awards Ireland is the only Internationally recognised awards programme in the Irish market, providing us with a standardised global benchmark for marketing effectiveness and a valuable opportunity for Irish brands and agencies to pitch themselves against their international peers in Global & European Best of the Best awards.

With many entries, and a particularly high standard of submissions, the judges did not have an easy time deciding on the finalists. So, we extend our thanks to the whole panel of judges across Round 1 and Round 2 that leant their voice to the discussion and offer our congratulations to every finalist for getting this far – it’s a real achievement.”
