The
Good Report is a unique ranking of the world's best use of creative
communications to promote sustainability and social responsibility to
raise awareness of major social and environmental issues. It is created
in collaboration between ACT Responsible, the international non-profit
association and largest global source of the world's best ads on social
and environmental issues, and The Gunn Report, the global index of
creative excellence in advertising.
Colenso BBDO has ranked #5 most successful agency in promoting good causes. FCB Auckland has ranked #25. Colenso's '
' campaign for Volkswagen was ranked #23 in the most successful campaigns list. The #1 most
successful campaign for promoting good causes went to FCB Brasil for
Nivea '
'.
A total of 702 campaigns produced by 461 agencies for 608 advertisers
from 71 countries were evaluated for this latest Good Report. The
ranking is created by combining the industry's recognition with the
performance measured by The Gunn Report, as well as the promotional
effort behind the campaigns and the general public's recognition from
public votes organised by ACT Responsible. There is no complicated
criteria or categories, just great work for Good.

Act
Responsible considers that advertising recognition is too often
confined to its commercial side; and that the other part of its role,
such as informing, raising awareness and educating, is often forgotten.
For
16 years now, Act Responsible has collected the best ads promoting
sustainability and social responsibility in order to highlight the use
of creativity to raise awareness of the world's major issues. Still,
hardly any specific recognition is offered to agencies that give time
and talent to support the communication of public interest causes.
Nonetheless, the commitment of communication professionals to these
causes is fundamental; good causes need campaigns to create awareness of
their existence.
Act Responsible has created The Good Report in
collaboration with The Gunn Report, to celebrate the wonderful work and
dedication that thousands of agencies are making to support these major
causes, in order to further motivate and inspire creativity as well as
the continued production of new campaigns.
Says Hervé de Clerck,
ACT Responsible dream leader: "With The Good Report, ACT Responsible
continues its mission of promoting, inspiring and federating the
communications industry for the greater Good. We truly believe
advertising has a major role in educating and promoting good to help
make the world a better place and we are proud the celebrate this work
every year. Producing The Good Report with the collaboration of The Gunn
Report Team is a great privilege."
Says Donald Gunn, founder,
The Gunn Report and ACT'ive Partner: "The Act Responsible Expo is one of
the must see exhibitions at Cannes Lions each year. It honours the
hugely valuable job our industry does, throughout the year in countries
all round the world, in multiplying the impact and effectiveness of
communications for Good Causes. The Good Report adds a commendable extra
dimension to their mission and we are proud to be a part of it."
