Among many awards in the Advertising market we had to draw attention to one more. And specifically to an award for Media: The “Prêmio de Mídia Estadão”.

Once the “Premio de Mídia Estadão” is known by every Media of the country, our target was the media professionals from the big agencies, especially the young ones who wants to be big in this business.We thought: as the action figures are desired by kids and collectors, so the best media professionals are desired by the market.With that in mind, we transformed the biggest media professionals of the country and the winners from previous editions of the award into toy heroes.First we showed the previous media winner from the award as action figures, than we transformed the nominees to the 2011 award and invited all the others medias to vote for the best media from 2011 at the website. After that, we had the three nominees and we developed a real action figure of them and presented them with it. That impressed everyone because we made every child dream come true, wetransformed them into heroes.A buzz started on the award and we had and increase on the entries; from 104 medias in 2010 we jumped to 137 medias in 2011. People still talk about theHeroes of Media.

First we showed the previous media winner from the award as an action figure, then we transformed the nominees to the 2011 award into action figures too and invited all the others medias to vote for the best media from 2011 at the website. After that, we had the three nominees and we developed a real action figure of them and presented them with it. That impressed everyone because we made every child's dream come true, we transformed them into heroes.The campaign ran for 3 months previous the award and the real action figures were given as a prize when the grand winner was announced.

A buzz started on the award and we had and increase on the entries; from 104 medias in 2010 we jumped to 137 medias in 2011.
