Meanwhile, haircare brand, TreSemme, took home three awards including Best Use of Research, First Time and TV Sponsorship categories for its sponsorship of the Next Top Model franchise.

"The range and quality of this year’s entries show that sponsorship has become an indispensible part of the brand marketer’s tool-kit," Hollis Awards organizer Rosemary Sarginson. "I’m thrilled to see such a positive response – particular for our new digital categories which were won by Ericsson and Nivea. My friends and colleagues in the sponsorship industry have negotiated the fragile economic situation through a mixture of innovation, creativity and courage.”
