This year’s Grand Prix was awarded to the Go Inspire Group for its outstanding work with the Pets at Home loyalty programme. 

Judges comments included:

"This is the strongest submission I've seen this year. Outstanding use of data planning and analysis, to drive a very impressive personalised communications strategy which has delivered results at the very highest level. Love the consideration for the full user journey beyond just CRM, and how that data should influence the holistic piece. Award winning work! Well done."

"This is an inspirational entry. The results are breathtaking with over 60% customer engagement and 2M going to charity as a result."
