Together with TBWA\RAAD, OMD got two more awards for Nissan’s “#SheDrives” in the Brand Experience & Activation – Corporate Social Responsibility and Use of Social & Digital Platforms categories.
AWR Arabian Automobiles’ “Predictive Radio Spots” campaign, another collaboration between TBWA\RAAD and OMD, won the Grand Prix in the Radio & Audio – Use of Radio/Audio as a Medium category.
In addition, OMD’s young talent rose to the occasion in both the media and creative categories at the Young Lynx competitions. Its teams won a gold in media and a bronze in print creative, showcasing OMD’s talent in balancing data with creativity.
