The nominated cases

Adwise & ICON drug research
Finding participants for drug research is crucial to the development of life-saving medications. This case study nominated for Best Global Health campaign and Best Social Media Strategy is all about breaking taboos in drug research. Starring participants in diabetes medication research, this campaign gives participants a face through personal interviews. By surprising the interviewed participants with words of thanks from real patients during the filming, this campaign shows real emotional impact with unscripted emotions. 

Thanks to an innovative targeting strategy, despite the challenges and strict limitations for Digital Marketing strategies in the health sector, this campaign reached the right target groups at the right times in a very targeted way.

Adwise - A Crucial Piece 
Nominated for Best Global Internal Content Campaign. For the third year in a row, Emerce named Adwise as top-3 full-service agency of the Netherlands. This internal campaign dedicates this success to the each indispensable contributions of all Adwisers. Success that is literally made tangible with a puzzle as a metaphor. Each of our 140 Digital Brains received a personalized puzzle piece with a thank you letter, asking them to bring their piece to the office.

In addition, personalized digital visuals were created for employees to share on their social media, making them even more the face of Emerce success. The final result was not only a completed puzzle that now hangs in our headquarters as a reminder, but the campaign emphasizes that success is created through individual efforts, none of which is expendable.




Adwise & Heracles Almelo
Nominated for Best Integrated Content Campaign. After a season of relegation from the Eredivisie, Heracles Almelo faced both the challenge of forcing promotion and getting the stadium as full as possible even in the KeukenKampioenDivisie. Thanks in part to the use of innovative channels such as WhatsApp and Voice, the Almelo soccer club saw the number of season ticket holders rise to record levels and provided the ultimate example of fan engagement in the Dutch soccer world. An unprecedented success, right in a period of sporting defeats for the club. This case also previously fell in prizes at the Dutch Search Awards and the European Content Awards
