LAS VEGAS, 15th October 2023 – London International Awards (LIA), one of the world’s most renowned Global Awards Shows, is thrilled to release its next batch of Winners & Finalists fresh from the judging room.
 
Led by Jury President Jimmy Smith, Chairman / CEO / CCO of Amusement Park Entertainment, the Branded Content & Entertainment  jury is honoured to reveal this year’s winners in this very entertaining category.

After a thorough onsite judging process, the jury awarded a total of 38 Statues in the Branded Content & Entertainment category.
 
Branded Content & Entertainment celebrates entertaining and engaging content experiences that are made with a brand’s personality and marketing objectives in mind. To celebrate the most entertaining and engaging work from around the world, the jury awarded a Grand LIA, 20 Gold, nine Silver, and eight Bronze Statues, alongside commending three Finalists.

BBDO Canada, Toronto won the prestigious Grand LIA for their outstanding work, Missing Matoaka titled "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls - Awareness".
 
Impressed by the high caliber of work, Jimmy Smith, Jury President of the Branded Content & Entertainment jury, shared, “This is some of the most dope work that I have seen entered. Work was outstanding, top to bottom. Right down to the finalist."
 
Barbara Levy, President of LIA stated, “I agree with the Jury President. The quality of the work was outstanding. While there was a lot of healthy discussion, the jury came easily to a consensus when it came to deciding the Grand LIA. That's how you know a piece of work is really head and shoulders above the rest.” 
 
Created for Creatives, LIA has the highest caliber of jurors from across the planet. All rounds of judging are done onsite in Las Vegas over nine days. Our judging process has no pre-judging. Each juror sees every piece of work in their respective Categories.  Each jury, along with their President, convened in their judging room to discuss and debate thoroughly before deciding on the Winners. This ensures that all work is judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions.
