Mighty Marketers sought to claim the 2015 TVNZ NZ Marketing Awards; call for entries now open

The call for entries into the 2015 TVNZ NZ Marketing Awards is open.

Now in its 24th year, these Awards recognise and celebrate the skills, expertise and work of marketing professionals that result in great business outcomes for their organisations as well as providing thought leadership for the industry.  The only awards programme in New Zealand that focuses on the business benefits of great marketing, the TVNZ NZ Marketing Awards are judged by senior marketers and leading CEOs. Taking home one of these awards is therefore recognised as an honour in the industry; a mark of brilliance, drive, and the ability to achieve.

The TVNZ NZ Marketing Awards are presented in partnership by the Marketing Association and NZ Marketing Magazine.

An addition to the other Category Awards there is a new one – People/Culture, which will recognise companies that have implemented employee engagement, internal communications and/or change management programmes. There have been subtle changes to some of the other category descriptions, all of which can be found on the Awards website – www.everythingmarketing.co.nz.

The 16 Category Awards acknowledge marketing initiatives and/or projects that are clear examples of marketing leadership and success within each sector, and the six Judges’ Choice Awards recognise excellence in specific disciplines of marketing, regardless of the industry.

There are no changes to the Individual awards: Rookie Marketer of the Year, Marketer of the Year and the Marketing Excellence Award with past winner of this award being, Philip Poole – J.H. Whittaker & Sons, Mark Callaghan – Frucor Beverages and Rob Fyfe – Air New Zealand.  Nominations for inductees into the Marketing Hall of Fame are also sought from within the ranks of ‘mighty marketers’ who are moving on to new challenges.

Heading up the sponsor line-up again this year is Premier sponsor TVNZ, Principal sponsor NZME and category sponsors; Boston Digital, BrandWorld, Image Centre Group, Mailshop, The Wine Portfolio, News Works, Ubiquity and new sponsor TNS.

The search now begins for the next 26 winners keen to be recognised as ‘mighty marketers’.

Entries close Friday 22 May 2014 at 5pm. An extended ‘late entries’ deadline of 5pm on Friday 29 May is available (at a nominal fee). Entry forms, a full list of categories and more information on how to apply for late entry are available at the Awards website: www.everythingmarketing.co.nz.
