The Emvies 2011 award ceremony was, like last year's award ceremony, held at the Taj Land's End at Bandra, Mumbai. And, like last year, the agency that galloped away with the Best Media Agency of the Year award is none other than Mindshare. This the fourth consecutive time that Mindshare has won this coveted award.

Mindshare won gold awards for its 'Your Trusted Beauty Companion' campaign for Be Beautiful (in the category of Best Media Innovation -- Digital; sub-category -- Mobile), its 'India Bleeds Blue!' campaign for Nike (in the category of Best Media Innovation -- Digital; sub-category -- Web), and the 'Changing the Game...for Youth, Cricket and Pepsi' campaign for Pepsi (in the category of Best Integrated campaign).
