Following the announcement of its global expansion earlier in the year, leading full-service marketing communications agency, X3M Ideas has received several accolades for work done across client accounts from global festivals and awards like The Luum Awards, The Loeries Awards and the Lisbon Awards to name a few.
X3M Ideas bagged over 20 awards for campaigns executed for the Lagos State Parks & Gardens Agency; multinational telecommunications company, Globacom; agribusiness company, Flour Mills of Nigeria; leading beverage company, JOTNA Group; health and personal care company, Evan Baroque and global leader in wine and spirits, Pernod Ricard.
With an objective to give out hundreds of miniature trees made of recyclable fiber instead of paper-made Christmas cards, the public service initiative, called the ‘Grow Project’ executed for the Lagos State Parks & Gardens Agency was well received and showcased at Cannes 2022 where it was voted as the 4th best eco-friendly initiative in the ‘Act Responsibly’ segment. The campaign also won the gold award at the 2022 Luum Awards and the Care Awards 2021.
The ‘One Language’ campaign by Globacom told the story of how dance transcends age, gender, status and location, ultimately acting as a common thread that unifies people, bagging several awards at the WINA Awards 2022, Lisbon Awards 2022 and Pitcher Awards 2022.
