You and your collaborators now have more time to enter your outstanding work – the deadline for entries has been extended to June 12, 2020.

Benefits of Winning AN ARF David Ogilvy Award

The 2020 ARF David Ogilvy Awards is the only award show that honors the significant role of research and analytics insights behind successful advertising campaigns. Winning an award will allow you to:

  • Command marketers’ attention: Marketers seek evidence-based insights — whether from data, research, or a combination of the two — to increase the odds that consumers will engage with and respond to your ads.
  • Honor your team: Shed light on the often unsung heros whose data and research efforts lead to creative success.
  • Earn press recognition: The ARF David Ogilvy Award winners are featured in multiple press outlets, and benefit from exposure on the ARF site and social media channels.
  • Keep good company: 2020 award winners will join an illustrious group of prior recipients including IHOP Restaurants, Procter & Gamble, KitchenAid, Budweiser, HP, Nike and more.

There are many opportunities to win — 20 categories, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, and the prestigious Grand Ogilvy Award.
