The India Chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA) hosted the 11th edition of the Olive Crown Awards 2021, on 3 September in Mumbai.

Three of the Gold wins were for the entry titled 'Disaster Chocolate Bitter and Sweet' for the client Dae By Day. The Gold wins included the 'International Green Campaign of the Year'. The other Gold win came for 'The Taiwan Government has its own facial mask brand' for Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, COA.

Ogilvy also had six wins - all of them being Silver.

The ‘Green Campaign of the Year’- Gold was presented to Bhamla Foundation for its ‘Dhak Dhak Dharti’ campaign.

IIFL Home Finance bagged the Gold in the ‘Green Brand of the Year’ category.

Other Gold wins included Sheerang Charitable Trust's 'Eco-friendly Ganesha Celebration with Health' for Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Wunderman Thompson for Jimmy Nelson Foundation's '#SOS - Save Our Sentinels', and Project Mumbai's 'The Mumbai Plastic Recyclothon'.

The ‘Green Crusader of the Year’ award was presented to Aaditya Thackeray, Minister of Environment, Tourism and Protocol, Govt.of Maharashtra for his untiring efforts to save the Aarey Forest in Mumbai, active promotion of urban forests in cities across Maharashtra, hands on approach in beach clean ups and for ushering in a ‘Climate of Hope’.

Megha Tata, president, International Advertising Association (IAA) - India Chapter and managing director – South Asia, Discovery Communications India, said, “In the last 11 years of Olive Crown we have seen campaigns and brands go from doing ‘something green’ to being vested in sustainability and we are glad that this is a platform to showcase work that can inspire. One of the things 2020 taught us is that nature loved our lockdown! But we need to find this balance and co-exist every single day! And some of the campaigns we have seen this year have presented this balance beautifully."

Neeraj Roy, chairperson, IAA Olive Crown Awards, and founder and CEO, Hungama Digital Media Entertainment, added, "Over the next two decades, your entire customer base and your teams - the talent you are hoping to attract will largely be millennials and Gen Z and we know that they rate a brand’s ethics and sustainability higher than ever before so it will be impossible and impractical to ignore these trends. Brands, media, advertisers, agencies and marketers, essentially the core of the IAA community, has always played a key role in communication for centuries and it is encouraging to note that brands here in India too are taking note and actions toward sustainability and a greener planet in their product offerings."
