We recruit senior brand marketers to our judging panel each year, who are your potential clients. Brand marketers bring an objectivity to the judging that other agency folk can rarely achieve. We're committed to building diverse and inclusive judging panels.
Our shortlist and winners will be given editorial coverage in Campaign Middle East - with over 20k newsletter subscribers and 150k page views monthly. Being shortlisted provides a unique platform to promote your agency and talent, and boost morale.
Most agency award schemes focus on the work produced – either its creativity or effectiveness. But we focus on business success: year on year growth, financial achievements, agency culture, diversity, equity and inclusion, and the people driving this forward.
