LONDON, May 30, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - A campaign by AMV BBDO for Libresse/Bodyform has won the Grand Prix in the Effective Use of Brand Purpose category of the 2018 WARC Awards, a global search for next-generation marketing effectiveness.

The global campaign '#bloodnormal' for Bodyform, the feminine hygiene brand, used a digital film to break taboos and connect with women globally.
