PANAta Awards 2020 Call for Entries until September 11
Every year since 2009, PANAta Awards has celebrated and showcased brands and creative people who have successfully launched and proved that their work achieved outstanding results. Last year, it was the emotional ad of Levi’s that won the Grand PANAta Award with its ‘Get Personal’ campaign –a Christmas offering that not only tugged at heartstrings with its presentation of warm and real family values, but opened greater awareness with its clear message of inclusivity.
Despite all the challenges, brands have managed to develop meaningful campaigns that not only display their creativity but also their compassion and commitment to the consumers and the nation. This year’s theme Pandayon embodies just that. Pandayon is a portmanteau word of the Visayan term “padayon” meaning to continue and the Tagalog “panday” meaning to craft or to mold. Together it symbolizes what PANAta stands for – the unwavering determination of creating a masterpiece, despite all odds.PANA continues to celebrate brands with BRAND EFFECTIVENESS as the core criterion of every campaign.
The PANAta Brand Builder Awards include nine (9) categories – from strategic campaigns to endorsers to mediums and up to the consumer relatability. Entries are now being accepted for the categories:
- Marketing Innovation (brands which have incorporated new marketing styles, ridden on current trends, or out of the box executions to achieve respective objectives),
- Corporate Social Responsibility (campaigns whose objective is to give back to the community while keeping true to its own brand proposition),
