Congratulations to the winners of the 2016, 3rd PANAta Marketing Effectiveness Awards. The awarding ceremonies is held by Philippine Association of National Advertisers (PANA), and is in recognition of deserving works from organizations that drive the PANA advocacy of ‘Beyond Truth in Advertising’.
Last May 27, 2016 at the Makati Diamond Residences, the 3rd PANAta Awards honored 29 winners that topped 39 finalists—an astounding feat considering a total of 71 submissions.
Foremost on the PANAta Awards platform is to encourage the Philippine communications industry to go beyond brand awareness, and to actively support the importance of responsible, and forward-thinking work that inspire nation-building, and nurturing the future.

High achieving winners merited a total of 8 Gold, 9 Silver, and 11 Bronze trophies—plus the coveted Grand PANAta Award that is the best of all the Gold awardees. The Grand PANAta award debuted just last year and was created to distinguish uniquely compelling communications – an idea that stands out above all others and achieves record-setting results. All Gold winners from the different categories were reviewed and re-evaluated to determine which one deserves to win The Grand PANAta Award .

Stringent ratings were delivered by 22 judges covering the expanse of industry experts, from all fields of integrated marketing communications. Gold awards are given only to finalists that reach a minimum of 90 points.
