Results revealed at The Drum Awards for Content 2023

Taking home the top prize, the Grand Prix, is Tangerine for its Vaginas Uncensored’ work with Bodyform.

With a long-standing history as a challenger brand, Bodyform’s previous campaigns ‘Womb Stories’ and ‘Periodsomnia’ propelled it into the spotlight and built conversations around challenging topics such as periods and women’s health. Despite it helping to break health taboos, talking about these topics is still not yet ‘normalized.’

So, to celebrate Bodyform’s 40th birthday, Tangerine launched ‘Vaginas Uncensored,’ a campaign that features 40 words you can’t say due to a form of censorship, whether that’s people being shadowbanned online for using certain terms or ad policies for social networks that classify much educational women’s health content as inappropriate.

Every day throughout the ‘Vaginas Uncensored’ campaign, a different word was reclaimed as the brand encouraged society, media and social media communities to talk about these topics openly and pragmatically.

As it released content into social media platforms and AI filters started to flag it as inappropriate, Tangerine spoke with the media and started an open and honest dialogue with online communities and ambassadors about why this needs to be addressed, encouraging the nation to join in the mission to ‘Uncensor Vaginas.’

The recipient of the Chair’s Award, meanwhile, as chosen by head judges Monika Oomen of Warner Bros Discovery and VJ Anand of Vaynermedia, is SE Creative Studio for its work with Waitrose & Partners.

Dish is a podcast and social media strategy that has turned a meal from Waitrose into a weekly cultural event, converting listeners to shoppers with each mouth-watering episode.

The show is made to be shared with dinner guests, the studio audience and followers at home. Each episode features a recipe from Waitrose, cooking tips from a Michelin star chef (Angela Hartnett), drinks recommendations from the broadcaster Nick Grimshaw and a meal enjoyed by some of the UK’s favorite celebrities, who in turn share their own food and life stories with the Dish audience.

Dish by Waitrose is the UK’s most hospitable food and entertainment podcast and the only branded podcast to have become a mainstay of the UK audio charts. It has over 60m organic video views and has attracted some of the UK’s biggest celebrities as guests.

Oomen and Anand were joined on the judging panel this year by senior marketers from top brands and agencies, including BBC StoryWorks, M&M’s, Accenture Song and Pinterest.

Among the other big winners of the night are Reach Agency for its work with Hulu, Amplify for its work with The Lego Group and Ogilvy for its work with Argos.
