Croquette Awards is the first international event that awards guerrilla marketing. The event exhibits the best examples of alternative marketing from all around the world.
The competition is open to everyone. Your age, nationality, color, or agency have nothing to do with it! Except for one category, the Old Croquette. This category is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Young Lions in Cannes Advertising Awards. "Old Croquette" is a category for creatives of 45 years and above.
With a main division of online and offline, categories include ambush, urban intervention, ambient marketing, viral and interactive. The jury consists of creatives from guerrilla agencies around the world as well as global ad agencies in Portugal. The mission of Croquette is to show that it’s not the big budgets that matter but good idea. The awards ceremony will take place on July 24th in the idea’s birthplace, Lisbon.
Croquette Awards are created by guerrilla agency Torke and Lisbon Ad School.
