The Publicis Groupe agency has also been nominated for its work for Barclays, International Airlines Group, and Weetabix.

There are 38 campaigns in total that have been shortlisted to win this year’s Effectivness Awards, for which entrants have to prove the payback of their communications activity.

Eight overseas entries made this year’s shortlist, including two campaigns from Ogilvy Australia for Nestlé’s Soothers brand.  

Food and drink is the best represented sector with eight shortlisted entries, followed by retail and pharmaceuticals (five each), and automotive (four).

Among holding companies, WPP has the most shortlisted entries with nine, and is closely followed by Publicis Groupe (eight) and Omnicom (seven).

Meanwhile, eight independent agencies have had their work shortlisted for the awards.

Neil Godber, convenor of judges and head of planning at J Walter Thompson London, said: "During the judging process we have seen lots of outstanding case studies that have provided some fascinating insights into the future of our industry, including the proper commercial application of social media and new understandings of the reinvention of sponsorship."

The winners will be announced on 9 October.
