I’ve been critical of advertising awards. They aren’t always tied to effectiveness. Award entries are often post-rationalised. The work isn’t always ‘real’. The entry price dissuades smaller brands from entering. I could go on. But these are the very reasons why I’m so impressed with the launch of The Chutes Advertising Awards. As soon as an ad goes live, it is automatically entered. No entry paper. No fee. And no subjective judging panel either. Work is awarded based on pre-testing results from System1 and brand tracking data from Tracksuit. Put simply, it celebrates work that works. And that is something I can get behind. Great work from ...Gasp!, The Marketing Meetup, System1 and Tracksuit. And particular thanks to the unsung hero that is Giles Edwards. https://thechutes.org/

Alex Murrell you’re an absolute gem, thank you so much for this

I thought work that works means real business impact…. I honestly don’t understand how you can award something on the basis of brand health tracker shifts ; which by the way in its own right are predetermined statements and you need at least 2-3 waves to measure impact…I mean it’s important , Brand health tracking but there are so many ways it can also be made ineffective. Simply by re-hashing same brand attributes.. or forgetting to amend the statements in brand health tracker when brand is going through change… this is a minefield…
