The India Chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA) seeks to recognize creative excellence in communicating sustainability.
These are the country’s first ‘green’ awards for communication.
Any communication that highlights the ‘green’ nature of a product, service or corporate philosophy is covered by this award. This would include communication about anything organic, eco-friendly, power-efficient, energy-saving, pollution-controlling, recyclable, reusable and generally something that offers a positioning as not just the custodian of a brand but also a custodian of Brand Earth.
