LONDON – The Gunn Report for Media, the global evaluation of media creativity, innovation and effectiveness, has today released its 2015 Media Report. The report is a summary of the overall media performance from January to December 2015 based on the results of the most important global, regional and national Media creative award contests spanning 42 markets.
“The Gunn Report for Media 2015 proves that more than ever media innovation and creativity are key to brand success. Creativity and media are not mutually exclusive or even in competition – they interact with each other. While technology and data are fundamental to achieving results, it is insight, strategy and ideas that are essential to delivering them,” said Isabelle Musnik, Journalist and editor of The Gunn Report for Media.
“Media creativity is an effective and universal tool for brands to speak to consumers and to attain a brand’s objectives by standing out in a crowded field of competitors. They have to blend technology, media and content to create a live brand experience that is easily accessible,” she added.
