Vice UK and Weber Shandwick lead the 2017 Digiday Awards Europe finalists

Please note, for 2018 we have consolidated our European awards into two programs. The Video Awards Europe are no longer a separate program anymore, but instead the categories can be found as a part of the Digiday Media Awards Europe and the Marketing & Advertising Awards Europe.

Vice UK and Weber Shandwick are tied with four nominations in the second annual Digiday Awards Europe. The Digiday Awards Europe, which are separate from Digiday’s U.S. awards business, recognize the publishers, advertisers and technology platforms bringing about change and innovation in Europe.

Vice UK is up for Best Use of Multimedia and Best Brand Partnership for its “The Fifth Sense” campaign for luxury brand Chanel’s signature perfume, Chanel No. 5 L’Eau, that features the artistic careers of women around the world. Vice UK is also up for Publisher of the Year and Video Team of the Year. You can cast your vote for Publisher of the Year and Agency of the Year here.

Weber Shandwick is nominated for Best Use of Video Content, Best Use of Social, Breakthrough Creative and Consumer Campaign of the Year for #BrutalCut, its campaign for U.K. charity ActionAid that aims to raise awareness of female genital mutilation in Kenya.

Winners will be announced at the Digiday Awards Europe Gala at The Brewery on Jan. 24. Tickets to attend are available for purchase here.
