AWARDS 2015 � SEPTEMBER ���� GROSVENOR HOUSE LONDON BOOK OF THE NIGHT MMG AWARDS 2015 EDITOR’S COMMENT Welcome to the M&M Global Awards 2015 Book of the Night. Over the following pages, we aim to bring you in-depth insights into each of the category winners, as well as those picking up Grand Prix awards. The Grand Prix online ballot proved a thrilling exercise, drawing well over 5,000 votes, with fans of Shell, Facebook and MediaMath helping those companies be named International Advertiser, Media Brand and Programmatic Company of the Year respectively. It was wonderful to see more than 700 guests congregate at Grosvenor House in London, especially at a time when the agency world is coping with nearly 20 major international media reviews. From online video to smartphone proliferation and the growing importance of data, these are revolutionary times for media and marketing – and the work shown to our judging panel shows that the industry is adapting admirably (see pages 11-43). Thanks to all our M&M Global Awards 2015 partners, especially headline partner NBCUniversal, and to A+E Networks, Collective, euronews and Publicitas. Without your contributions, none of this would have been possible.
