What is the winning formula for crafting, building and executing a successful YouTube campaign? We partnered with APG to find out.
Our mission was to celebrate the most effective, and therefore exciting, creative, and often original, advertising campaigns on YouTube with our inaugural YouTube Works for Brands programme.

In late March 2017, our stellar line-up of judges reviewed over 50 papers submitted by UK agencies and clients. The room, packed with industry leaders, was continuously impressed by the calibre and variety of unique approaches illustrated in each paper.
“One of the great things about the [YouTube Works for Brands] awards, was the diversity of solutions we saw. There is no ‘one way’ to use YouTube”
Craig Mawdsley (Chair of Judges), Joint CSO, AMV BBDO
