Shell and MediaCom win Grand Prix with Shell Brand GravityLight & Bedtime Stories Campaign<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

London, Friday 23rd<\/sup> March 2018:<\/strong>The winners across the eight categories of the 2018World Media Awards<\/a> were announced last night at an exclusive VIP event held at The Ham Yard Hotel in London. Hosted by the World Media Group<\/a>*, the World Media Awards, now in their third year, are the only global awards to recognise brands, agencies and media partners who, together, create the most effective cross platform, cross border, content-driven advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n

The biggest winner on the night was Shell, whose global campaign \u2018Shell Brand GravityLight & Bedtime Stories\u2019 created by MediaCom, picked up the World Media Awards Grand Prix, as well as winning the World Media Award for the Corporate Influencer category.\u00a0 Shell\u2019s campaign was in conjunction with GravityLight<\/a>, a foundation which aims to improve the lives of people without electricity by providing clean, safe and affordable lighting. They embarked on a 50-day GravityLight roadshow across Kenya, capturing the progress of the roadshow through video and social media, and also created animated videos of GravityLight \u2018bedtime stories\u2019 told by high profile influencers, such as singers Pixie Lott in the UK and Luan Santana in Brazil \u2013 all of which created strong consumer connections globally and transformed brand perceptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Media Awards are a fantastic platform for demonstrating the value content offers brands for telling a powerful story that can resonate around the world, whether you are in London, Lagos or Kenya, \u201d saidWendy Orhan, Senior Brand Communications Managerat Shell. \u201cWe were amongst stiff competition with so many fantastic entries this year, so to walk away with the Grand Prix is a real coup, and testament to the amazing work of all the team who worked on this campaign including Gravity Light and MediaCom.\u201d<\/p>\n

A panel of 24 senior jurors from leading advertisers, agencies and publishers, presided over by four head judges – Arif Durrani, Executive Editor for EMEA at Bloomberg Media Group, Jodie Stranger, CEO UK Group and President Global Clients EMEA at Starcom, Publicis Media, John Rudaizky, Partner, Global Brand and Marketing Leader at EY and Jon Gittings, Chief Strategy Officer, Americas at MediaCom\u00a0 – had the difficult task of selecting the eight category winners and Grand Prix winner from the many entries that were received from around the world.<\/p>\n

Emma Winchurch-Beale, President of the World Media Group and International Sales Director at the Washington Post commented, \u201cFor all the World Media Group members, great journalism and excellent storytelling, using honest and authentic voices from around the world, are of paramount importance every day.\u00a0 In fact, as the World Media Group celebrates its 20th<\/sup> Anniversary this year, we can say it\u2019s driven us for 20 years! That\u2019s why it\u2019s been such a pleasure this year to see the amazing entries that embody these values, with Shell being a very worthy winner.\u201d<\/p>\n
