The Leadership Awards

Senior Leadership Awards
The Leadership Awards are split into five categories – Media Agency, Media Owner, Advertiser, Technology, and International – and must be at Managing Director (or Marketing Director for the advertiser category) level or above. We want to see examples of our four core values - Excellence, Disruption, Courage and Inclusion to build a better business model, revenue growth, and positive company direction. To qualify for the international category, this will recognise one leader either from outside of the UK or a leader who leads a multi-national team. Open to anyone from media agency, media owner, advertiser, or tech, and again, this individual must be at Managing Director or above and can show a proven track record over the last year of contributing to business growth and displaying incredible leadership qualities.

Future Media Leader of the Year
The Future Media Leader can come from media agency, media owner, advertiser or tech. This person does not necessarily have to currently lead their own team, but they must have displayed leadership qualities in the past year with evidence of attributes that will lead them one day to becoming a media leader in their own right. There is no discrimination or barrier to entry for this award based on age or how long you have been in the industry. Nominees must simply be from outside of those job roles that could be entered into the Senior Leadership Awards category. Everyone will be judged on their own merits and skillsets against their current experience, and we welcome nominations for talent from around the world.
