The winners of the 2017 Financial Mail AdFocus Awards were announced on Wednesday, 22 November at an event held at The Empire Conference and Events venue in Parktown, Gauteng

Twenty-one agencies were shortlisted across six categories. Agencies were adjudicated against four measures: New Business and Growth, Business Retention and Relationships, Training and Industry Recognition, and Empowerment/Social Responsibility.

Convened by Jeremy Maggs and David Furlonger the co-editors of the annual Financial Mail AdFocus Magazine a panel consisting of jury chairperson Craig Page- Lee and other industry professionals adjudicated each entry and applied their scores in secret.

Finalist agencies in all categories made themselves available for a Q&A with the jurors, arising from their entries. The judging and scoring were audited by Deloitte.

The importance of digital and, specifically, mobile has been a key thread throughout this year s entries, with all agency categories demonstrating evidence of delivery in this regard, irrespective how successful the campaigns and submissions were, says Page-Lee.

That said, there is still a way to go before we see agencies being able to deliver seamlessly through the coupling of these concepts and trends, adds Page-Lee.

Page-Lee says, The biggest highlight has been the introduction of the transformation award, which obviously solicited incredible conversation and signalled an important milestone for not only the Financial Mail AdFocus Awards programme, but for the industry as a whole.
