In our globalized world, the best and most effective marketing transcends borders to create cultural touchstones that people across many geographies and cultures find relatable, and now,” contended Vineet Mehra, Effie Worldwide’s board chair, and global CMO, Walgreens Boots Alliance, “the Global Best of the Best Effies will be the ultimate recognition of effectiveness.”
