Together with the client, they created a ‘mytaxi jazz cab’, the first-ever data-driven jam session, literally driven by drivers. ‘mytaxi jazz cab’ became the world’s longest programmatic jam session, putting Cork and the movement of its people at the heart of the experience.

IMCC Chairman, Peter Kerr said, “Once again our awards have attracted exceptional work from across Europe and across a wide variety of industry sectors. Leading to a quite brilliantly innovative Grand Prix winner. As always the judging process supported by professionals throughout Europe was rigorous and we are grateful to our panel judges and IMC Board for the time they have once again given so freely.”
According to IMC European Awards Chair, Renate Vogt, “All cases entered in the competition were of high quality and very well-presented, so the judges had a tough job to come to the final decisions. All nominated cases are fine examples for the industry and our business.”
The winning agencies were selected after two rounds of judging in a European competition of the best campaigns selected at the national level across Europe. The first-round selection was made by a jury panel made up of 40 leading industry professionals across Europe. The second-round jury, comprised of IMCC Council member representatives, took place in Brussels on 16 October. All entries and judging procedures were managed via the official website at www.imcceurope.com.
