The India Chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA) has announced the inception of the Olive Crown Awards, which aim to recognize creative excellence in communicating sustainability or “green communication”.
Kaushik Roy, president India Chapter of the International Advertising Association said, “These awards would encourage and in fact inspire marketers to communicate sustainability in every facet of business, and motivate advertising agencies to bring communication of sustainability on top of the strategic agenda of advertisers.”The Olive Crown Awards also seek to position marketing and advertising as critical components of not just economic growth but more importantly, responsible growth. To achieve this objective, the IAA felt it was important to reward outstanding creative work that communicates sustainability in any form.
Roy reiterated that ,in the bargain, the IAA would be “encouraging positive thinking and debate on matters of sustainability and positioning itself and the industry as not just custodians of a particular brand, but custodians of Brand Earth.”
The Olive Crown Awards would be open to all marketing companies, advertising agencies and others who had created and placed paid communication that espoused sustainability in the calendar year 2010. They would cover a wide range of media and marketing disciplines including print, television, radio, digital out-of-home advertising, printed literature, documentaries, events and advocacy campaigns.
The Energy Resource Institute (TERI) would be the ‘knowledge partner’ for the IAA in these awards. The logo for the Olive Crown Awards has been designed by B.Ramnathkar of Umbrella Design.
