Having announced the creation of the award last November, Laurence Herszberg, Founder and General Director of Series Mania, today announced the winner of the first annual “Series Mania’s Creative Campaign Award”, a prize awarded by Series Mania to a series’ promotion for the viewing audiences. 

The winner, unveiled today at the Forum, was “Doctor Who: Flux” (BBC Studios) with Phil Ball, Head of Creative, and Sarah Bold, Head of Brand and Marketing, Scripted, accepting the award. A Jury Special Mention was awarded to “Lupin” (Netflix) with Matthieu Abadon, Marketing Manager, accepting the award.
