With the addition of the Effie Serbia program, Effie Worldwide’s international network now expands to 48 programs (41 national programs, 6 regional programs, and 1 global program).
The inaugural Effie Serbia competition will be open to all marketing efforts that ran in Serbia during the eligibility period.

The first ceremony, where the 2017 Effie Awards Serbia winners will be announced, is tentatively scheduled to take place in June 2017.
“The addition of Effie Serbia will strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of marketers throughout our 48 global programs and beyond,” said Neal Davies, President & CEO of Effie Worldwide. “Through the Effie Index, we’ve helped discover some of the brightest and most effective agencies and brands for all marketers to aspire to and learn from.”

Announced annually, the Effie Index is the most comprehensive global ranking of marketing effectiveness.
Miloš Simić, IAA Serbia Chairman stated, “This program opens a new chapter for the marketing industry in Serbia. For us as a profession, it is very important to measure the effects of local marketing communication, and it will be valuable for Serbia to benchmark against other markets through the Effie Index.
