MLA General Manager for Marketing and Insights, Nathan Low, said the industry continued to reap the benefits of the success from the Make Lamb Not Walls Campaign.
"The Make Lamb Not Walls campaign has received many accolades this year, but to receive a Gold Effie against the best in the business with only five golds awarded is an outstanding result," Mr Low said.
"The Effies are awarded to campaigns that have delivered superior results by surpassing the objectives they set out to achieve and we certainly did that for Australian Lamb this year.
"The campaign generated outstanding results across the board, including a 16.8 per cent uplift in sales during the campaign period, 1,421 total pieces of coverage and over 10 million views.
