2. WU Lions submission instructions
All submissions must be received by:
Q1&Q2 submissions – deadline February 9, 2017
Q3&Q4 submissions – deadline February 28, 2017
Please use the design template for submissions – submissions not in design template, missing required information will not be reviewed.
Word Limit for written entry: 500 words – we suggest you use the most detail for the insights, idea and creative execution sections as they have two-thirds of the weighting in judging entries.
Please complete Campaign one-pager in the Appendix (slide 9) – this will be used for the WU Lions Ceremony if the submission wins. Please do not change the template – formatting needs to be uniform for all submissions.
When working with the GAI team regarding the WU Lions submissions, please keep the following in mind:
The submissions, for which GAI has already performed some measurements during the year, will be confirmed/signed off on the wording and takeaways by GAI.
The submissions, for which GAI did not provide any measurements, but for which the marketer performed their own impact analysis, will be vetted by GAI, who will advise on possible corrections that may need to be made (if any).
If GAI did not provide any measurements and the marketer did not perform their own impact analysis, the teams will have to present their work with no “impact” attributed.
Please see Appendix (slides 12 & 13) for updated categories and judging criteria.
