Meanwhile, the NowWeMOVE campaign narrowly missed out on a European Excellence Award in Stockholm in December, after having been shortlisted in the Sports and Lifestyle category among 4 other nominees including Adidas, Ericsson and eventual winner Kari Traa. The NowWeMOVE campaign was one of the few nominees across the award categories that did not use an external agency to assist in building their campaign.

ISCA Secretary General Jacob Schouenborg said he was more than pleased with this achievement: “Unfortunately we did not win the prize for the Sports and Lifestyle category. Nonetheless, we can be proud to be nominated and shortlisted out of 1300 entries overall and as one of only 5 organisations in this category.”
