ICSC Solal Marketing Awards, a very happy group of winners!
A record 152 entries were received from shopping centres in 18 countries across Europe - more than ever before. Seven Gold Awards, 22 Silver Awards and one Special Distinction for Innovation were awarded.
All winners automatically qualify for entry into the internationally-acknowledged ICSC MAXI Awards which recognise excellence in shopping centre marketing across the world.
ICSC Jury Award Chair, Frank Pöstges, Managing Director of CentrO Oberhausen in Germany said: “Shopping centre marketing teams have risen magnificently to the challenge of delivering creative and effective marketing campaigns within tough budgets.”
With a large number of entries into the Sales Promotion and Events category, it was evident that marketing teams across Europe concentrated on campaigns to deliver immediate footfall for tenants to defend the centre’s market share against their competition.
This year, for the first time, the ICSC Solal Marketing Awards included nine entries from shopping centres in South Africa, where developers and shopping centre management, recognising the growing prestige of these European Awards and the lack of a similar Awards programme in their country, asked to be a part of ICSC’s European Awards.
