Mindshare Named Campaign Global Network of the Year

NEW YORK, May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindshare, the media agency network that is part of WPP, has been named Global Network of the Year by leading business media brand Campaign.

The Global Network of the Year Award is specifically intended to award one global network, regardless of sector - across all areas of advertising, whose achievements are seen as world class.

Mindshare was recognised for its outstanding performance in new business as well as creative excellence and for 'taking inclusion to another level, supporting not only their colleagues but also the industry.'

Highlights included:

• Being the first media agency to launch LGBTQ and Black Community private marketplaces in the US as part of an 'Inclusion PMP' series dedicated to funding the journalism and voices of marginalized communities.
• Transforming its NeuroLab (launched by the agency in 2019) from an in-person offering to virtual in the pandemic, marrying empathy in understanding people and the accuracy of media targeting – helping to optimise emotional impact of campaigns across different channels and clients.
• Rapid deployment of data led COVID learnings from East to West, helping clients understand consumer and government reactions to COVID and lockdown. Built upon by the Mindshare's New Normal Tracker – an ongoing study covering 10 global markets, China, US, Germany, UK, Mexico, India, Singapore, France, Spain and Italy, that followed the impact on these societies as their countries transitioned from lockdown, to release, to reassess.
