Dentsu media nominated nine times at Festival of Media Global Awards

Dentsu media has been shortlisted nine times at the Festival of Media Global Awards, recognising standout work across Aotearoa and Australia.

Dentsu media Aotearoa managing director Rich Hale says: “It’s great to be recognised. We’d be lying if we said otherwise. But we’re more excited about what these shortlists represent: a validation of the work we’re doing and the results we’re generating for our clients on a global stage. That’s the part we’re most proud of. Fingers crossed we get to write another press release on the topic later in the year!” 

Nine nominations

Dentsu Aotearoa received five shortlists for its work with TVNZ and DB Breweries. Campaigns recognised include ‘Pitch to pavement’ for Best Use of Out of Home, ‘Excitement has no boundaries’ for Best Use of AI. DB Breweries Export Ultra’s ‘Cold call back service’ earned nominations for Best Use of Talent, Best Engagement Strategy and Best Campaign for a Local Brand. 

Carat Australia secured three shortlists for its work with Medibank. The ‘Family roast’ campaign was recognised across Collaboration, Best Comms Strategy and Best Response Campaign.

Finally, iProspect Australia was shortlisted for Best Launch with ‘Solo by MYOB’.

Connecting in more meaningful ways

In total, the nine shortlists reflect a continued focus on delivering integrated, outcome-driven solutions that connect brands with audiences in more meaningful ways, says dentsu.

Dentsu media, Australia chief practice officer Chris Ernst says: “To see this level of recognition across ANZ on a global stage is incredibly rewarding. It highlights the depth of talent across our region and our commitment to delivering work that not only drives performance, but also creates meaningful, lasting impact.”
