Carmilla snags PROMO! Awards Best of Show

The web series from Kimberly-Clark and Geometry Global took the top prize, while Leo Burnett, Zulu and Taxi also won big.

Another award show, another trophy haul by Geometry Global, Leo Burnett, Zulu Alpha Kilo and Taxi.

Last night’s PROMO! Awards, which celebrates brand activations that get people engaged, saw Geometry Global (the agency’s account director Robyn Dalley is pictured above) take home the coveted Best of Show, as well as two Gold trophies, for the branded content program “Carmilla,” which it led for Kimberly-Clark’s U by Kotex brand.

Meanwhile, Leo Burnett got its mitts on ten PROMO! Awards (four Golds, two Silvers and four Bronzes) for a range of clients, including P&G brand Always, Ikea, TD, Bell Media’s TSN and Coors Light. Zulu Alpha Kilo also made multiple trips to the stage, picking up nine prizes (three Golds, one Silver and five Bronzes) for brands Audi, Interac and Corona. And Taxi, another trophy marauder, took home seven awards (five Golds, one Silver and one Bronze), across its various offices in Toronto and Vancouver, for brands Kraft-owned Mio, Tim Hortons and the Canadian Badlands.
