The integrated marketing campaign award is given to the most outstanding campaigns who demonstrate powerful and effective integration between public relations as an anchor to create genuine debate in earned media channels, embedded within digital content. This unique integration delivers high organic reach in both digital and traditional communication channels, making the content viral. SodaStream's "Shame or Glory" integrated campaign has received more than 50 million views with 8.5 billion impressions and coverage in over 30 countries.  

SodaStream's "Shame or Glory" campaign touched a nerve and triggered many cease and desist letters by front groups for the bottled water industry, led by Nestlé Waters. "We are proud to provoke a necessary conversation about the catastrophic damages caused by the plastic beverage industry giants," said Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream. "We will not be bullied or silenced!" added Birnbaum.
