This year\u2019s Digiday Media Buying and Planning Awards winners traversed a saturated media environment marked by several global crises spanning political, social and economic issues. To make their messages stand out, they needed to confront a range of variables.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Gen Z\u2019s demand for inclusive and values-aligned campaigns expanded, brands and agencies worked toward tackling sustainability. They identified innovative methods of engaging target audiences and captured their attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

For this year\u2019s winners, gaming also provided an opportunity for deeper connections as agencies explored more channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, one agency won 6-out-of-8 categories for which it was shortlisted \u2014\u00a0Hearts & Science. Its partnership with AT&T Fiber via Twitch won them Best Creator Partnership, focusing on bringing awareness of AT&T Fiber\u2019s consistent high speeds to the gaming community in an authentic way. By partnering with two emerging female streamers in the Twitch community, massive awareness and positive attention resulted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another win for Hearts & Science in 2023 is Best Digital Media Campaign for their work with AT&T and ATTN to produce \u2018The Love Connection.\u2019 This initiative supported both the LGBTQ+ community and The Trevor Project to show how technology can support the well-being of marginalized individuals by fostering a social connection. The LGBTQ+ individuals highlighted in \u2018The Love Connection\u2019 experienced genuine hardships and were able to speak in a way to which viewers could relate. AT&T\u2019s strategy raised their voices and gained exposure for the benefit of the LGBTQ+ community while highlighting allyship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s Best Digital Out-of-Home Campaign, the recipient is Canidae. The premium dog- and cat-food brand\u2019s commitment to sustainable practices with farmers expanded as it set out to eliminate single-use plastics by launching environmentally friendly Kibble Refill Stations. To ensure this campaign succeeded, Canidae partnered with January Digital for an out-of-home campaign targeting consumers seeking brands that could boast sustainable practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another recipient tapping into gaming this year secured a win for Best Use of Emerging Media \u2014 Levi\u2019s. The jeans brand worked with The Trade Desk, media buying agency OMD and in-game ad provider Anzu.io to deliver a 10-week global in-game campaign spanning mobile, PC and metaverse games. Brand awareness, consideration and ad recall all increased, with nearly two-thirds of gamers exposed to the in-game ads taking some follow-up action afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
