Merkle B2B Honored with Four Gold Awards at Global ACE Awards for Lenovo ThinkStation Campaign

Merkle B2B APAC, a leading data-driven, technology-enabled global performance marketing agency, has achieved significant recognition at the esteemed Global ACE Awards, the premier B2B awards in the USA. The awards ceremony, held at New York’s iconic Forbes on Fifth, celebrated Merkle’s excellence with four prestigious Gold awards for its innovative Lenovo ThinkStation global campaign.

The four Golds were won in the key categories of Integrated Marketing Campaigns, Brand Launch/Re-Launch, Emotion in Action, and last but not least, Print Advertising.

The Global ACE Awards, known for their stringent evaluation criteria and celebration of excellence in B2B marketing, recognized Merkle alongside industry giants such as Workday and Nativa Meter, esteemed winners of Cannes Lions awards.

“At Merkle, we believe in pushing the boundaries of B2B marketing by creating innovative and effective campaigns that resonate deeply with our clients’ audiences,” said Farrokh Madon, Chief Creative Officer APAC for Merkle B2B.

This global Lenovo campaign was pitched for and won out of Merkle’s Singapore office, collaborating closely with the team in Australia to develop, produce, and roll out the campaign globally. The collaborative effort underscores Merkle APAC’s ability to leverage its global network and expertise to deliver compelling and effective marketing solutions.

The Lenovo ThinkStation campaign exemplifies Merkle’s ability to blend creativity with strategic insight, positioning Lenovo as a leader in the competitive global marketplace. The campaign’s success highlights Merkle’s expertise in leveraging data-driven insights to deliver compelling marketing solutions that elevate brand visibility and drive business growth.

“I am glad we could play a small part in building the Lenovo ThinkStation brand,” added Farrokh. “This campaign proves that B2B isn’t just doing Business 2 Business ads, but actually doing creative work that’s Better 4 Business.”

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
