Last year’s awards attracted 28 entries, but were only open to campaigns with a total annual marketing budget of up to £2.5 million whereas this year there is no limit, as in 2010.
This year brought entries from Brazil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Madrid, New York, Norway, Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei.
Lord Hollick, the chairman of the judges, said: "A buoyant economy lifts all boats but an economy in recession provides a much stiffer challenge to advertisers. To be effective, advertising must inspire and inform, must reach the right audience and deliver great value for money. This year’s crop met the challenge and have delivered impressive returns."
