We debated for weeks on the best brand campaigns of the last ten years and came down to our five favourites, with the help of an open nominations phase. It's been a creative ten years where console brands rubbed shoulders with unicorn drinks and social media dominated.
Scroll down to have your say on the winner in the Creative Bloq at 10 Awards, which includes innovative approaches to social media and a love of nostalgia. The decade grew away from controversy, but if you want to see the top brand campaigns that shocked us, we have those featured too.
Our final shortlist for you to vote on contains few shocks but plenty of thought provoking moments, including PlayStation's 4ThePlayers nostalgia trip and we get behind the rise of social media with Starbucks’ unicorn campaign, Spotify's ode to 2016 and the famous Ice Bucket Challenge. Finally, Dove's My Beauty My Say series of short films that champion women who overcame challenges.
