We are excited to announce that we will be joining Ascential’s LIONS Division, alongside their impressive portfolio of brands - Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, WARC, Contagious, and Acuity Pricing (formerly Brand View) (subject to regulatory approval).
LIONS and Effie are the most powerful benchmarks of creativity and marketing effectiveness. We look forward to what we can achieve with the global marketing and business communities, and how we can demonstrate that really effective and creative marketing is a route to growth for all organizations.
Our mission to lead, inspire, and champion the practice and practitioners of marketing effectiveness globally remains unchanged. Our ability to deliver it at scale and across our Academy, Insights and Awards programs becomes even greater.
Our heritage as a not-for-profit will be preserved and transformed into a new global foundation: The Effie and LIONS Foundation, Inc. (subject to regulatory approval). The Foundation will be dedicated to educating the next generation of talent, offering training for all marketing students, especially those under-represented in the marketing community.
The rigor and process of the Effie brand will remain, and our team will continue to deliver to the high standards you expect from us. Our new alliance has the potential to bring extraordinary value to our industry and we could not be more energized for what’s next.
Creativity. Effectiveness. Together.
