  • Burger King's 'The Mcwhopper Proposal' Wins the Grand Effie at the 2017 North American Effie Awards
    Jun 01, 2017 United States Burger King's 'The McWhopper Proposal' Wins the Grand Effie at the 2017 North American Effie Awards North American Effie Rankings Reveal the Most Effective Marketers in North America (US & Canada) New York (June 1, 2017) – Burger King’s The McWhopper Proposal campaign from Y&R New Zealand with contributing agencies DAVID The Agency, ABPR, Code and Theory and Turner Duckworth was awarded the Grand Effie trophy (best in show) at the 2017 North American Effie Awards Gala. The rankings for the most effective North American holding companies, marketers, brand and agencies were also revealed at the end of the show. Since 1968, the Effie Awards have honored marketing ideas that work. Tied for number one, the most effective marketers in North America are Unilever and PepsiCo. The additional highest ranking companies include: IBM (brand), IPG (holding group and the first time IPG has held the number one slot), Ogilvy & Mather (agency network), McCann New York, (agency office, jumping 12 spots from 2016) and Droga5 (independent agency). These rankings will be factored into next year’s Global Effie Index. According to the Grand Effie winner’s entry, “In 2015, Burger King was outspent, underarmed and overwhelmed in the incredibly competitive fast food category. Our idea began with an open letter in the New York Times; a peace offering to our biggest rival. Immediately the McWhopper idea took on a life of its own, making headlines across the country. While the campaign twisted its way through popular culture, we continued to stoke the flames with iconic billboard placements, social influencers and a carefully crafted media kit disguised as a website.
