The Woolworths marketing team and the in-house creative agency received a
Gold for
Best Use of Social Media for B2C and a
Gold for
Best Content Campaign for its 'Bring it Home' campaign. The brand additionally received a
Bronze for
Best Content Team.
This is the second time that Woolworths content marketing has received international recognition this year; the brand also won a Content Council

Kate Fordyce, head of agency at Woolworths, says "These awards have become a benchmark for the world's most innovative and engaging content marketing programmes. This recent win is a massive achievement, competing alongside iconic global brands such as Waitrose, Tesco, Mercedes and Bentley."
"The CMA judges said the standard of entries was exceptionally high this year, showcasing a powerful combination of the science and art of content marketing," concludes Fordyce.
The
Best Content Campaign judges described the Woolworths campaign as "brilliant storytelling with a personal and authentic approach, achieving their objectives through insight and tenacity."
The
Best Social Media B2C category judges further described the campaign as "an impressive campaign, with a fresh narrative that cut through at a crowded time of year. Well-made content with a human angle drove fantastic engagement and became a beacon of optimism at an important time."
