SMARTIES X Global Best in Show Awarded to La Société Protectrice des Animaux and Havas Play's "Adopt a Mod" and Subway, Dentsu, and Carat's "Subway Eat Fresh Refresh" Campaign wins North America Best in Show

MIAMI, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating the most imaginative and innovative work that marketing talent and agency teams have created over the past 2 years to drive business impact, MMA GLOBAL announced the winners for the 2022 SMARTIES X and SMARTIES North America Awards during the MMA's Possible Conference & Exposition in Miami, Florida April 17-19. 

SMARTIES X is the world's first marketing award recognizing innovation and business growth. It is the highest achievement across the globe honoring and awarding outstanding innovation. SMARTIES North America honors the most effective modern marketing in the United States and Canada.  

"What the Effies are for measuring marketing effectiveness and Cannes Lions are for celebrating creativity, the SMARTIES are for recognizing tangible business impact," said Greg Stuart, CEO of MMA Global. "This prestigious award distinguishes the brands, agencies, media companies, and solution/technology providers that have achieved meaningful results. It's the only accolade in the industry that honors marketing's powerful impact on business."

The winners were selected from among hundreds of submissions across more than 20 countries and were initially evaluated by the SMARTIES Screening Council of over 100 marketing professionals representing leading brands, agencies, and technology enablers across the globe to determine the shortlist. These shortlisted campaigns were then reviewed in virtual jury sessions by the MMA's independent jury, which is comprised of some of the best marketing minds in the industry and led by jury chair, Mike Margolin, SVP/Chief Digital Officer, RPA.

Mindshare was a top SMARTIES winner overall, with 25 SMARTIES Awards representing Dove, Boost, Aquafina, Pepsi, KFC, Unilever, and more.

"The work submitted this year represented ingenuity, empathy, and innovation, demonstrating how brands are engaging with today's consumers across traditional and emerging channels such as Web3," said Yasmin Melendez, VP Content & Programming, Beyond Ordinary Events. "Our jury definitely had their work cut out for them to determine which campaigns were worthy of the 2022 SMARTIES X or SMARTIES North America gold, silver, and bronze awards as well as our most sought-after Best In Show award."

The campaigns that earned Best-in-Show honors are La Société Protectrice des Animaux and Havas Play's "Adopt a Mod" and Subway, Dentsu, and Carat's "Subway Eat Fresh Refresh" Campaign.

Categories for this year's awards span across technology, media, and marketing, which distinguishes work that really stood out, made an impact for their brands, and are amongst the most innovative and forward-thinking leaders in the marketing industry today.
