Now in its second year, the prize is in search of the best strategic marketing thinking that has driven results in the region. The winners of the Grand Prix and three Special Awards share a $10,000 prize fund.

The Grand Prix, awarded to TBWA\RAAD for the 'Camelpower' campaign, saw Nissan Middle East create a new industry benchmark for automotive desert performance.

A further three Golds, five Silvers, six Bronzes and three special awards, recognising specific areas of excellence, were also awarded by the judging panel made-up of 18 client- and agency-side top industry professionals chaired by Wasim Basir - Director, Integrated Marketing Communications, Coca-Cola MENA.

Four of the winning campaigns, including the Grand Prix, are regional campaigns. The other award-winning work are for national markets - Egypt (3), Lebanon (3), Saudi Arabia (3) and United Arab Emirates (2).

Commenting on the work, jury member Laura Chaibi, Head of Digital Research, MBC says: "WARC's MENA strategy awards have been an excellent vehicle to uncover, showcase and celebrate, authentic, local insight-driven, communication strategies with impact.

"From ultra-local single country brands through to large international brands, from all across the MENA region, we have seen an array of communications putting consumer truths at the heart of their business as well as forays into new technologies to deliver innovative and contemporary communications with bottom-line business impact."
