During 2019, across billions of impressions, and countless advertising campaigns, four display ad campaigns stood out.
These quarterly winners of the Bannerflow display ad campaign of the season competition were examples of the very best display advertising. Sophisticated and technologically complex – all were created via the Bannerflow creative management platform (CMP).
However, much like Highlander, there can be only one. A question remained, which one was the best?
But first, a reminder of our exceptional winners…
Winter 2019
The Bannerflow best display ad campaign of winter 2019 went to Hallon.
The Swedish Telecom brand won for its engaging and innovative omni-channel campaign. In particular, we admired how it used emotion and video to connect with viewers.

Spring 2019
The next winner of our quarterly competition was Georg Jensen.
The exclusive Danish jewellers was picked for its ability to craft bespoke and masterful video campaigns. In particular, voters were impressed with how it’s designs were tailored for the smallest and more complicated display formats.

Summer 2019
The winner of the best summer display advertising campaign of 2019 went to Icelandic consumer electronics retailer, Elko.
Elko’s winning campaign used a Rich Media slider to to showcase the capabilities and placement of a Samsung Frame TV in the real world. This simple interactive feature not only got viewers to engage with the ad but increased click-through rates for Elko too.

Autumn 2019
After much deliberation, the winner of the best autumn display advertising campaign 2019 went to international hotelier, Meliá Hotels International.
Meliá Hotels International dynamic creative optimisation (DCO) campaign featured a range of unique HTML5 interactive elements. What’s more, each design element worked together perfectly to drive the viewer to engage and click to a specific landing page.
