Independent digital agency Artslab Creatives achieved significant recognition at the Effie Awards Sri Lanka 2025, winning four awards for campaigns centered on social impact and technological innovation. • Key Achievements: 2 Silver Awards: For the "Forward and Fearless" campaign with Fems Sri Lanka. 1 Bronze Award & 1 Finalist: For the "Yahagunakam - Rasa Siththam" campaign for Maliban Biscuit Manufactories (in partnership with MullenLowe). • Innovation Highlights: The agency pioneered Sri Lanka’s first use of AI deepfake technology for social good, utilizing it to amplify menstrual health awareness rather than misinformation. The campaign secured a Silver in the AI category (where no Gold was awarded) and another in Experiential Marketing (Digital). • Economic Context: As an independent firm founded in 2020, Artslab’s success against established marketing organizations highlights the growing competitiveness of Sri Lanka's ICT/BPM and digital marketing sectors. The focus on AI-driven innovation and purpose-led strategy demonstrates the potential for local boutique agencies to drive high-value service exports and digital transformation within the domestic manufacturing and FMCG sectors.
