Gunn Report, now part of WARC, has released its 2018 Gunn Media 100, a global ranking of the world's most awarded campaigns and companies, based on their performance in media competitions around the world.
According to the report, MediaCom London is the top-ranked media agency, MediaCom is the top-ranked media agency network, Nike is the top brand and Unilever is the top advertiser.
McD’s ‘Capacity Based McDelivery’ Is Gunn’s Top-Ranked 2018 Media Campaign. The campaign was developed by OMD Singapore. McDonald's promoted its delivery service McDelivery in Singapore in partnership with Google.
By integrating McDonald's first-party data with Google's hyperlocal targeting, per the report, they maximized media cost efficiency and managed consumer expectations of delivery time through tailored messages, mapping real-time restaurant data against paid-search spends via a live API.
MediaCom London had four
campaigns ranked in the top 100: 'Best Day Of My Life' for Shell (6), 'Singing Our Way To The Top Of The Box Office' for Universal Pictures' Sing (22), 'Missing Type' for NHS Blood & Transplant
